Ladies & Gentlemen… It is time for a ROOV story! Every day people on ROOV are making important connections and we’d like to take some time here and there to let you know about things that are happening on ROOV.

Here’s Gari-Anne’s story:

When I created a ROOV on adoption, a woman named Donna found me. She too has a passion for adoption because she had placed a child herself as a young woman. She is now married and has always had a passion for girls who have struggled in the same way that she did. She can fully understand the pain of giving up a child and the difficulties that arise afterwards as you attempt to put the pieces of your life back together.

She recently began a home for young woman who are giving their child up for adoption, or have in the recent months. Her home is called “To Prepare A Place.” She allows these young girls to live her in her beautiful home while she gives them continuing education, room & board, and most importantly introduces them to Christ.

Two weeks ago I got a call from a young woman who had lived with me at Gladney, placed her baby for adoption, and then moved out to start life over again. Due to some intense rejection and pain from losing her baby, she attempted suicide. By the grace of God she is still alive! She really doesn’t have anyone to turn to, so I began (along with her caseworker) to find her somewhere to live after discharging from the hospital.

I instantly thought of “To prepare A Place.” I called Donna and we began her evaluation process. Three days later she moved into her home and is on the road to recovery. I am really praying for her salvation and I am thrilled to have met Donna through ROOV. I really believe that she will be the Lord’s tool to introduce my sweet friend to Jesus.
