I just thought I'd ask you all to pray for my friend Doreen, and her baby, Rashiya, right now.Doreen got Rashiya straight out of the hospital about 15 months ago. She's a 'prison baby' meaning that her Mom was incarcerated at the time of her birth.
Now her Mom - Brandy, has been released, and wants Rashiya back on this coming Monday. It's not a very secure situation that she'll be going to. Brandy has three other children that have been taken away from her. During visits at the prison, Rashiya wouldn't even go to her Mom. So the adjustments will be tough.
Please pray for Doreen, as she lets Rashiya go. Even though she's known all along that Rashiya wasn't hers, it's still severing a tremendous bond. And leaving Doreen with empty arms.
Please pray for Rashiya as her little world will be turned upside down, and she's too young to understand all the reasons.
Please pray for Brandy, that she will be a good Mom, and choose wisely if she should try to keep her daughter or give her up for adoption. (She has talked about it already.)
Rashiya is only about three weeks older than Katri. So this really hits home for me when I consider how I would feel if it were MY little girl being taken away.
Feel free to post messages to Doreen in the comments section of this post.
"Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven."
Matthew 18:19
