God knows the plan...

Our hearts are healing from not being able to adopt Sara. We are so thankful for the many ways God is providing for her.

We have been blessed to be able to send her a letter and a small gift. 

Please join with us in prayer for Sara and that everything works out for her to recieve what we have sent without any issues.

Since so many of you have prayed for her and have come along with us on this journey we thought we would share with you this letter that we are sending Sara so you too can experience the closing of the chapter that we get to see into her world and to trust in Jesus that He is in charge of the rest of her story.


 Dear Sara,

We are a family in America whose lives you have touched. We heard stories from the people at WACAP of what a sweet girl you are. You have a way about you that captivates those who meet you with the beauty and grace that you possess in your heart. You are a very special girl.

We have been praying to God for you for the last two months. We were hoping that we could adopt you but the paperwork couldn’t be done.  We see now that God had another great plan for your life. We understand that there are circumstances in your life that made it so you were going to stay there in Ethiopia. God has such a wonderful plan for your life. You are such a sweet blessing to the children there at the orphanage and it looks like God wants to continue to use you to love on them and care for them.

The nice people at WACAP told us that you will be part of a sponsorship program through their organization that will make sure your needs are met and that you will be able to go on to receive more schooling so you can also know a trade. God has many good things planned for you.

We hope that you know how very special you are to God. He has given you a hope in your life that through His son Jesus you will get to have Him with you always and that you will be able to be with Him in Heaven.

We are sending you this necklace that has a verse from the Bible on it. Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” We hope that whenever you wear the necklace it will remind you that God loves you and you are in His care. We pray that Jesus will be your very best friend as you go through your life. We pray that you seek Him.

You are a very special young lady who is loved and prayed for by people on the other side of the world that you have never met, but who know about you. You will always hold a special place in our hearts. We praise the Lord that you were born and that He is caring for you.

Love your friends in America,
Donna, Chris, Daniel, Molly and Zayden Robbins
