This is the Wheeler's and their sweet baby girl Xiomara whom they are FIGHTING to adopt in Guatemala. A few weeks ago they received some excruciating news...
"We received an e-mail from Steve in Guatemala telling us that precious Xio's court date was yesterday.....we had no idea! And, needless to say, it did not go well at all. Our precious girl is actually not even from Guatemala.....she is from El Salvador. Her mother came to Guatemala from El Salvador to sell her illegally. She was offered a sum of money....and ended up getting less than she wanted. At court yesterday, the birth mother, foster mother, Xiomara, lawyer and Shyrel were there. There was obviously a lot of lying going on.....and the end result is not good at all. The judge did not trust any of the ladies, but for some reason is giving Xio back. We are trying to reach Steve. But, it seems as if she is headed back to El Salvador with a woman that does not even want her. Steve stated in the e-mail that she would be going back to a bad situation. Money is a shady thing.....and more than likely, she will be selling her again soon. We have more questions.....and will not give up."
PLEASE PRAY FOR XIOMARA!! Only God can protect her and deliver her into the arms of this sweet family who longs to love her and take care of her!! GOD YOU ARE SO MIGHTY! LORD, PLEASE BE XIO'S ALMIGHTY PROTECTOR AND SHIELD AND KEEP HER SAFE FROM HARM!
