Can you help....

My dear friend Robin at Red Thread Stitches has posted many times about this little angel in China......
I have taken this information below directly from her blog....

Last May this little girl won her way into the hearts of many....and we prayed. We prayed because Lucy carries with her the burden of a life threatening congenital heart disease and no family to call her own. So much for such a little one that waits in China. September came and we rejoiced when a family stepped forward and began their journey to adopt Lucy.

March is now here. Lucy should have been on her way home to the arms of her family and a medical staff that has been waiting to repair her little heart. Instead, we have a broken hearted family that is unable to proceed with the adoption....and a little girl waiting in China....still.
I've been told that if we can find a doctor and a hospital that is willing to help Lucy at no cost, then perhaps we can get Lucy here on a medical visa. So the mission has begun. The out pour of those wanting to help has been amazing. On this day Lucy's name was echoing across the states as people reached out to anyone they knew might be able to help. Once again we came together to pray for her. Hope is alive!

Lucy's diagnosis is this:
congenital heart disease (it consists of Mitral Atresia, ASD, PDA, Pulmonary Stenosis, coarctation of the aorta, and PAH), and left arm deformity

Lucy's surgery is considered very high risk. Some doctors and organizations that help orphans by providing life saving surgeries, do not want to take her case because they would prefer to take the case of a child that has a better chance of survival. It's understandable. But... EVERY child deserves a chance, regardless of the percentage that exists for them. God can take even the riskiest situation and turn it into a miracle of life. He is the Giver of Life. We just need to find that someone who is willing to focus on the fact that Lucy CAN survive...against all odds.

If you know of a Cardiologist/Hospital in your area that may be able to help Lucy,or you would like more information about Lucy, please email me at: redthreadstitch@aol.com


If you feel you would be willing to adopt Lucy, please email Marci at: MarciSK@Asiadopt.org
Lucy is listed with Associated Services for International Adoption (ASIA). www.asiadopt.org

A paperwork ready family would be most ideal but any family that is ready to move quickly would be perfect for Lucy. China is ready and willing to expedite everything, provide waivers for families that may otherwise not qualify, and waive certain fees. If you are already LID with another Agency, and are not already pursuing another child, ASIA would be willing to work with your agency to help bring Lucy to your family's arms!
