Jean de Dieu



Introducing Jean de Dieu Rukara!!! He is a doll! My precious little boy! I can't believe that I have a little guy. . .I want to go get him and snuggle him!!! I have always wanted a child missing his two front teeth and he is my first!!! Here is what Tim, my POA (and the man in the picture) said about the meeting:

I am excited that you're about to adopt a cute little boy, dark skinned, a little shy but I understand he is very active back in school in Kibungo in the Eastern Province of Rwanda.

Jean de Dieu Rukara was born on June 1st, 2003. I understand he was dumped at the orphanage but I couldn't get any additional information. I will brief you on the next steps to do in the coming days.

Hope you will love these pix.


I am praying for him to be comforted. He has only known life in the orphanage and his life is about to be rocked! Please pray (with me) for his heart!

I'm reminded of a verse that stuck with me right before we got our referral....

Relax, everything's going to be all right; rest, everything is coming together; open your hearts, love is on the way!!! Jude 1:1

LOVE YOU BIG TIME!!!!!
