CHURCH ARISE!

TWO BOYS...

                                   SAMUEL                         AND                       DUNCAN

Both of them just a year younger than my Ben.

Two Boys.

Samuel and Duncan.

Will you please read about these boys.... Will you please consider them?  THEY HAVE ONLY A FEW MONTHS LEFT BEFORE THEY TURN 16.

Like Laurel and like Bernadette - Their chances for adoption end when they turn 16.

Samuel will be 16 in May 2012 – so he needs a family, FAST!

Sam is an AMAZING young man! He is friendly, good-natured, has a good sense of humor, and loves soccer (futbol). He is very good at soccer, and has gone to a camp for great players in Poland a few summers ago. Sam very much wants a family in America- he approached a family adopting there and asked many questions about it, and has talked to the orphanage staff before about how much he wants a family- for parents to love him, encourage him, and support him.

Sam's disability is very minor- he has malformed fingers on both hands that appear to be due to banding of some sort. Otherwise, he is healthy. Because of this disability, he was sent to a special needs orphanage. He is very smart, has already started learning English in school at the orphanage and is well-liked by his friends. Sam's faith in God is very important to him and he would like a family who also worships God, who will encourage his gifts in soccer, and who will tell him "I love you" and listen to him as he talks.
Sam has goals for the future, and would like to play soccer and go to college, but he knows his life in his home country will not give him those chances. He is very intelligent, very respectful and has a great perspective about adoption, because he has a friend already adopted into the US. The family that met him in February 2012 will be happy to answer questions about him as well. Sam eagerly posed for the pictures, and begged the family and facilitator to please not forget him and to find him a family fast!

Duncan will be 16 in summer 2012 – so he needs a family, FAST!

From a family who met him in Feb 2012:


Duncan very much wants a family. He is smart and works hard. He gets along well with others. Duncan struggles with facing the future here in his native country. He knows that unless a miracle happens and he gets adopted (or a family commits and gets USCIS approval) in the next few months, he is going to be sent to a mental institution, even though mentally, he has no issues. Duncan appears to have CP, and he is small for his age (about the size of a 13 year old). Duncan's medical information is en route from the orphanage now, but the family who met him and who he approached to ask for a family and the facilitator want to go ahead and get his information and picture out there.


Duncan uses a walker to walk and is independent in mobility. Duncan is a compassionate teen and one who says he "fears even to hope for a family, because he doesn't think anyone would want him because he isn't handsome". In fact, when it was time to pose for this picture, Duncan worried that someone would see it and then not want him. Duncan needs a family to show him God looks on the heart to see beauty (even though he's a quite handsome boy regardless)- and so do Christian families. Duncan's heart is big, and he is well-loved in this orphanage. Many worry for him if he doesn't get adopted before he turns 16 and it is too late.

MY HEART BREAKS FOR THESE BOYS!!  

They BOTH want families but neither can dare to hope that anyone would want them!  I cry as I write that.  Duncan worries that he isn't good looking enough to be adopted!! 

CHURCH ARISE! 

Show this boy about LOVE. 

Samuel wants to hear a Mama and a Papa whisper Love into his heart!  He wants to be encouraged in HIS FAITH!

WHO WILL GO FOR THESE BOYS?? 

Please - if there is a place at your table for two very desperate boys WHO HAVE THEIR ENTIRE LIVES AHEAD OF THEM... Please consider crossing that ocean.  A family will need to have their paperwork in process now to qualify.  They have little time and no options.  If you want to learn more about them I will be happy to connect you to the FAMILY WHO MET THEM!! 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SHARE ABOUT DUNCAN AND SAMUEL.

Please tell the world about these two boys who desperately want families. 

ARISE CHURCH!
