My husband, who happens to be Jewish, is praying as well.

They would calm her down sometimes on the phone, but often they would lie to her and tell her that she could return to China and that they would come and visit her in the U.S. So it might be a good idea to ask Helen if she can have a talk with Johanna alone and make sure that she hasn't been temporarily reassured only to be heartbroken and angry later.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />RubyChina Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01501593747405465770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219233868886406359.post-10989074026352148162011-07-23T21:59:25.699-07:002011-07-23T21:59:25.699-07:00Selina, what a comfort it must have been for Johan...Selina, what a comfort it must have been for Johanna to learn that most of her friends were being adopted too! What a blessing that you had so many photos of her friends for her to see and show you exactly who she was missing. I'm sure she must have appreciated your support and approval during this time of grief. What a brave young lady, so proud of her.Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603269459384230189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219233868886406359.post-54920915605762576542011-07-23T21:28:46.772-07:002011-07-23T21:28:46.772-07:00Thank you for sharing, Selina!
