In mid-March, we asked you to pray for “Simon,” a newborn baby who had been abandoned in the maternity hospital. Even though all non-emergency functions of the child welfare department had been shut down, our hope was to place Simon in a family under an emergency order.
We’re thrilled to report that the child welfare department did place Simon into a family, who hopes to eventually become his forever family. Although this placement didn’t happen through our foundation, our director’s advocacy made a difference in getting Simon into the arms of a mom and dad.
As the COVID-19 crisis grows more acute in Romania, we’re so thankful that Simon is out of the hospital, and in a home, where he belongs.
What you can do:
Praise God with us. Thank Him for answering our prayers and helping Simon find a mom and dad just in time. Thank God for the child welfare department who prioritized his needs, even in the midst of a crisis. Ask God to help Simon bond with his new family, grow healthy and strong, and eventually come to know the love of Christ. To join our email prayer team and get timely requests, click below.
