Hello, I received your story from my friend Julie Ahearn who also adopted from China and I will continue to pray for your little angel. Your story brought tears to my eyes. May God provide you all with the strength you need and healing for Brea quickly.

I also sent an email to Steven Curtis Chapman at his website. Hope it gets to him. I also sent an email to KLOVE radio station hoping that they will also be touched by your families story. I know that DJ Jon and Sherry Rivers have a daughter from China so I hope my email reaches them!!

Hello Mary and family and I just want to let you know that I just contacted Steven Curtis Chapman Shaohannah's Hope Foundation. I know that they provide grants for family that wish to adopt and I am hoping that their organization may be able to help your family with either the costs associated with Brea's adoption or some of the medical bills you will be facing. I sent them a link to Brea's website. Thoughts and prayers.

Hello Mary and family. You don't know me, but I go to church with Mark & Anita Hiehle. I have been keeping up with Brea and your situation since about week two of the ordeal. Brea has been in my prayers, and I think of her often during each day. The day that I read she had/was receiving her heart, I burst out crying and praising Jesus with the same breath. Wow, God has REALLY good timing! You have amazed me with your faith and trust in God during this whole time, I hope that faced with extreme circumstances that I will/would be able to trust in the same way that you have. I will continue to keep up with Brea's progress, and continue to pray for your financial situation. Kiss that sweet baby for me (I have a soft spot for little ones, I have triplet grandbabies that are 2 1/2 years old). May God continue bless you and your faithfulness to Him!

Hi there! I have followed your story and continue to be amazed at strength and faith! Please know that I will continue to pray for your family!! I just read an article that I hope will help (andreriveroflife.org) )- I think one of the social workers at the hospital has to refer you to this program, maybe they can help! God bless you all!!

Mary, I have been keeping up with you, Brea and the rest of the family thru this website. I continue to pray for you daily!!! You are an amazing person and little Brea is an amazing fighter!!! God definitely knew what He was doing putting her in your family. You mentioned that you believe God sent various people into your life as signs, I believe He has now sent you into so many people's lives as a sign of the power of faith. You are a true inspiration. Please let us know if you need anything! Give Brooke a hug for Shelby . . . she misses her so much! Love, The Gormans, Prairieville, La

Hello there! I just found your page on the internet today. I live in a suburb of Little Rock and would like to tell you that I am praying for your little Brea. If there is anything I can do for you while you are here, please let me know! If your family needs a place to stay while they visit, we would like to offer our home for that! My husband is a pastor and I am a stay at home mom of three. We would love to adopt from China someday and are waiting on God's perfect timing. Please let me know if there is anything we can do for you! God's blessings and complete healing for your daughter!
