Prayer

I wanted to share the prayer that was said by Dr. Kim over Lauren before we departed her home country. It is beautiful and so touching.

Precious life, one of our many country's saviors, our angels

We send away this life to a foreign country with scarred memories of her homeland.

Please forgive our sins and allow Korea to be a better country so that we will adopt children (someday) from other countries instead of us always sending ours away.

We send this child for care, so please protect her life. And make it so that she can lead a happy life in her new home.

Please always provide her with grace and intelligence and lead her to live by the rules of Jesus Christ, to have all good fortunes, to help benefit others, and to return the glory to our Lord.

It is our sincere wish that this life will not forget her home country and the love of the people who took care of her. Father, please remember all the foster families who work hard, whether in favorable or unfavorable conditions, to protect these lives. And bless them for the benefits they are provided with.

By Your blessings, this adoptive family will be full of love and under Your protection.

Now this child leaves. Please make her way as easy as possible and lead her to the most pleasant of lives.

In Jesus' name,
Amen.
