Back in January, I chose the word <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">FAITH<\/span> to be my word of the year.  I have been focusing on it, applying it in my life, studying about it, etc.<\/p>\n<p>A couple months ago, I randomly discovered this book called &#8220;Forever Lily&#8221; by Beth Nonte Russell, which is about a woman&#8217;s journey to China to adopt her daughter.  (I highly recommend this book!)  I ordered the book right away and last month I read it.  After reading it,  I felt really emotional about the story.  And it left me feeling . . . like there was something I needed to do.<\/p>\n<p>A week after I finished the book  I found out what it was that needed doing!  I learned that an online friend of mine, a fellow Britt Girl actually, <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Leda<\/span>, is currently going through the process of adopting her second daughter, &#8220;<span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Faith&#8221; Cui Mei <\/span>, from China.   Read Leda&#8217;s heartwarming story of how they found Faith <a href=\"https:\/\/brittishdesigns.com\/blog\/p\/faiths-story.html\">HERE<\/a>.  (have a tissue handy, I bawled).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/brittishdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/cumei_framed.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The circumstances with this adoption have been unexpected and they are in desperate need of some financial help.   I immediately went to work to create a kit to donate to her cause!!<\/p>\n<p>Watch this amazing video to learn more about Leda, the adoption of their first daughter from China, and their efforts to adopt Faith:<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/kKyiviBJ6MY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/object><\/p>\n<p>So, <b>calling all fans of Britt-ish Designs<\/b>, it&#8217;s time to do some good!!
