Homecoming!

Susie Vanderwier, Amy Ostrander (aka "The Rescue Team") - and Levi! - came home to America on Friday, Dec. 28, 2012. Susie and Amy were in the Democratic Republic of Congo for 9 weeks (Amy's hubby, Eric, was there for the first 2 weeks, then again for a few days in the middle of this ordeal), fighting for this little guy. There was a big group of family members and friends at O'Hare to welcome Levi home to America - and his daddy was live on Skype from Louisville. We praise God for making this happy occasion possible!

We're so grateful that so many have shared the joy we felt that day - Homecoming Day! Levi is now 8 yrs. old, he has a brother, 6 from Niger, a sister, 5, from Uganda, and a "miracle" biological sister, now 2. This is a loving, active family committed to teaching and living out God's Word and ways in their home and through their local church.

You do not know you guys what you are doing in orphans lives may God bless you for sure orphans needs a second chance of being adopted ,and any one who can adopt please do so ,l am an orphan too and l need also that chance but l do not have it but l ask God that l find a home also.

[@tashastewart243]

6yrs ❤

[@davidprabhu4225]

I could hardly believe my eyes.Certainly, this is true love. All caste minded Indians must watch this video so that they'll learn a valuable lesson. Never get this little boy married to a girl of his race when he grows up. He must get married to a white girl. Sure enough , It will be a deathblow to racial discrimination.

[@syifafauziah3495]

Massallah good familly 😘😗😍😗😘😗😍

[@cinziacapuzzi5228]

Poveri bambini scioccati!!!

[@cinziacapuzzi5228]

Troppa confusione, però dico che i genitori adottivi dovrebbero essere prima loro a arrabbiarsi per il modo che hanno questi istituti a proporre le adozioni.

[@josefinarubalcavalopez4044]

Cuanto dinero $$$$$$$ les habra costado??????
