This is Bryannah. She is currently listed on Reece's Rainbow as available for adoption. Bryannah has been in a mental institution since 2011. She has been in orphanages her entire life, but was registered for adoption in 2013. She has waited 12 years for a chance to find a family!
I don't really have words to describe the brokenness my heart feels as I look at this precious child of God. In earlier photos, her hair is longer- more girlish. But I imagine life in the mental institution becomes a life of efficiency, and so now her hair is cut very short because that makes it easier to care for.
I am praying that a wonderful family steps up and adopts this beautiful princess.
I don't want to get in a debate about which orphans have it worse: the ones living in poverty, ones living in a certain area of the world, or the ones like Bryanna with special needs who have been moved from an orphanage to mental institution. The truth is all orphans are suffering because they are not in a family as God intended for each of us.
But at this point in my life, I find my "cause" is for the orphans who have special needs and whose path in life is from orphanage to mental institution. I feel like the Lord has asked me and my family to do anything we can to help orphans in this unique group to find families.
So I ask anyone reading this post to please lift Bryannah up in prayer- maybe you are the family for her or maybe you know of a family. 12 years is too long to wait for a family! No child should be living in a mental institution when there are families that could adopt.
According to Reece's Rainbow, there is a $10,000 grant available for her.
Please help her!
