February is dedicated to love. Valentine's Day is a time where we shower our special someone with love and gifts. Maybe chocolate or flowers, or if you are lucky, diamonds. For some though, just being loved would be enough. They don't need those things. They simply want someone to call thier own.
During that month, five years ago, a beautiful little girl we know as Kennedy was born.
Kennedy was born to a family. Where Kennedy is from, because of an extra chromosome, they have no place in society. Often parents are urged to place them in a orphanage or leave them at the hospital. Thier only hope is finding a family. Someone to call thier own. Kennedy has spent her life in the one and only place she has known, and recently she was taken away from that place. Kennedy has been transferred. She has been sent to a place that is horrifying, scary and reminiscent of the movies we remember where people are screaming & banging thier heads for stimulation. She doesn't deserve it. She deserves to be the princess she was born to be.
People often ask why from a different country and not here. Truthfully, it is a valid question. I understand it, but truthfully, I could care less where she is from. She could be from here or there or anywhere. What matters to me for my Yana is that I love her, my family has accepted her and she needs us. That is the same way for Kennedy. It doesn't matter where she is from, she needs loved, plain and simple. Look at this verse from the bible,
Religion that God our Father Accepts as pure and faultless is this:
to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
--- James 1:27
I don't see anywhere in that verse that says to make sure they come from your country, because if you fall outside of the lines of your nation you surely will be struck by lightning. Nope, it's not there. I understand that some people are not in the position to adopt, or don't have the money to donate. Prayers are just as good. Kennedy needs them too.
Please help me by spreading the word about Kennedy. Let's pray and hope that she finds her family. Let's help Kennedy to know what February is for. Let's help her to be loved as she deserves and help her forget the loss she has endured. Let's keep her from this.....

ALREADY TRANSFERRED!
Miss Kennedy is a beautiful girl. She has blonde hair and blue eyes. She has already been transferred to the older child facility, so she needs a family quickly! From her medical records: Down syndrome, significant psychomotor and speech retardation, moderate mental deficiency, congenital heart disease, planovalgus deformity (flat feet), allergic dermatitis (dry cheeks). She will really benefit from having a loving family to encourage her, provide her with the therapies she needs, and help her be all she can be! There is no place for her in her country.
