Have you ever seen or heard something that touched your heart so deeply that you just KNOW that God is calling you to act? That you cannot sit silently when God is clearly asking you to take a stand??
I had one of those moments today when I read this angel's story:
This is Teri Lynn and she is 5 years old. Teri Lynn has down syndrome and lives in the Ukraine. Teri Lynn was recently transfered to a mental asylum as is the fate of most orphans living with Down Syndrome there. A mental asylum at 5 years old! 95% of these children die there. She is in DESPERATE need of a family to step forward for her!
This is Teri Lynn after only 3 weeks in the asylum:
How can a beautiful little girl get to this point in only 3 weeks?!! Heartbreaking doesn't even begin to cover it.
Dear friend, if you feel led you can go here to donate money for Teri Lynn's Adoption Fund through Reese's Rainbow. This will go so far in helping the family that finds Teri Lynn get her home!! Could you please pray that the right family will be moved to step forward for this little one?
Please help spread Teri Lynn's story so that we can find her family!!! It is so incredibly urgent!!!

My heart is wrenching. I often marvel at my daughter, who will never experience this kind of neglect... She's so lucky and doesn't even know it.
