I'VE HAD THIS SENT TO ME THRU VARIOUS GROUPS
I BELONG TO, IT'S ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU JUST WANT
TO CRY...PLEASE PRAY FOR THIS FAMILY AND THIS
SWEET LITTLE GIRL THAT SHE FINDS HER MATCH
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD..TIME IS RUNNING OUT!
This was posted on one of the groups I read. I read the back posts on
the blog and it is heart breaking to know they found the biological
family, they agreed to send a daughter that matched, and now they
have changed their minds. There are supposedly two more daughters
that were also abandoned and adopted from the same orphanage and they
are searching for those girls.
"My daughter Lydia was adopted from Guangdong Province China on July
5, 2004. In August 2008, she was diagnosed with AML, a very pernicious
and deadly form of leukemia. With the help of her Chinese-born doctor,
we were able to locate her birthparents and some of her siblings in
China that her family kept. We know she had at least two sisters older
than she (born somewhere between 1993 and 2002) who were also
abandoned. The birthparents have refused to assist with her bone
marrow transplant, even though two of her already found siblings were
a match. We are now looking for these other potential siblings to see
if they were adopted and might also be a match. Lydia is part of the
Hakka ethnic group, and so a match
from someone other than a relative is unlikely because of her unique,
almost bi-racial typing.
Lydia has classic Hakka features: "Brooke Shields" eyebrows, and
rather full lips and a round face. I will have my husband post photos
of Lydia and her birth family. I cannot do so at this time, because I
am in the hospital with Lydia and the internet connection here is too
slow and rather poor. Thank you for any assistance you may be able to
lend.
Blessings,
Monica Miyashita
