Saw our sweet daughter's face for the first time in an email. Sunshine asked who it was and I told her that her name was Ashley and she needed a mommy and daddy and that we needed to pray for her so she would have a family. She then asked me if she had any toys or pets or brothers or sisters. When I said no, she asked if we could pray right then. She prayed that God would bring Ashley a mommy and daddy and brothers and sisters and lots of toys and a dog. I inquired and received a reply that she was on hold with another family, to which we prayed a prayer of thanksgiving for this sweet girl.
