Natalie joined our family in January 2003. She arrived at Hospital Vozandes del Oriente (HCJB World Radio's mission hospital in Shell) when she was one-year-old. Malnourished, she weighed only 9 1/2 lbs. and was covered with scabies. Her grandparents had been caring for her, but they realized that they couldn't provide for her needs (they had eight children of their own and one on the way). We decided to adopt her, and after two years of paperwork, she is finally ours!.

Natalie is very loving and compassionate. She is in first grade and loves to swim.

How you can pray for Natalie...

That she would be successful in school

That she would make good friends

That she would love grow in her love and knowledge of God
