She was born Sept. 4, 2009. Her parents, if they are both still alive, are poor. Not poor by U.S. standard...but poverty, starving...that kind of poor. Her parents loved her so much they brought her and her older sister to an orphanage in the hopes that they'd have a better life. Just recently the girls arrived at God's Littlest Angels (GLA) because the orphanage they were at was not able to care for all the children they had.
GLA is an orphanage in Haiti. It is special to us because we know some sweet little kids who lived there before coming "home" to their forever family. I'll just link the website, and challenge you to read for yourself. If it doesn't touch your heart, at least a little, well, I just don't know what to say. Honestly, I stopped reading the blog for awhile...it was just too much. I would sit in front of the computer and weep and pray and weep some more. My heart is burdened for orphans...especially these ones.

A few weeks ago I started reading the blog again and got "caught up" a bit on all that's going on there. Haiti is open for adoptions again. That is good. However, there is a need for forever families to adopt the children!
Rose Myrtha and her sister are two of the many who are waiting for their forever families. We have the privilege of sponsoring Rose Myrtha until she is adopted (hopefully with her sister). We are praying for this sweet little girl.
