Very urgent prayer request

Sunday update:  The parents are reunited with their biological children and we ask for continued prayers that they will be reunited with their newly adopted children very soon.

Saturday update: (From those who are working very closely with government officials): With regards to PRECIOUS Sol and Christine and their kids....ALL pertinent government officials have been engaged since early this morning. I am confident that everything that can be done IS in fact being done by our government to resolve this issue and reunite this family. Please continue to pray for a QUICK release. This is an innocent family, this has been a terrible act of injustice......BUT, God...."

The family has asked now that people NOT contact government offices or media outlets at this time! Things on the ground are in the works, and at this time all they NEED is prayer.

****************************

I just came across a horrifying circumstance an adopting family is going through in Ghana.  I don't know details, but this family needs the body of Christ to come together and pray for them URGENTLY!!!


From what I know, the parents, Christine and Sol have been put in jail in Ghana on unfounded charges of child trafficking while their two American born bio children and their four newly adopted children sit in a government orphanage.  This is the specific prayer request that is being asked to pass along.....please share this with everyone you can and PRAY, PRAY, PRAY for this family and all of their children! 

"There is a family in Ghana right now that has been arrested on (unfounded) charges of child trafficking. The family's 6 children (2 bio & 4 newly adopted) have been rendered to the care of a government orphanage while the parents sit in a jail cell in Accra! The bio kids are only 4 & 6 and do not speak the languages of Ghana. The family had their court paperwork with them and the children were all still removed from their parents! PLEASE PRAY for this family!!! The parents' names are Christine & Sol. The US Embassy in Ghana has stated that nothing will be done until Monday, even though there are American born minors affected! PLEASE PRAY for God to intercede and redeem this family! Thank you."

The family's blog is here.

  1. Dear God! Put your angels around those young children and their parents. Protect them and comfort their anxious hearts. I pray for your direct intervention in this situation, that this family would be reunited safely. :( So, so scary.

  2. Have you considered the possibility that these folks may actually be guilty of child trafficking? Or at the very least, breaking the law??

    A whole lot more info is needed

    1. Of course I have considered this possibility. But I do not think that more info is needed before prayers should be asked for. God knows the situation and will intercede as He knows best. We are still called to pray over every circumstance. I would hope that prayers would be called upon if we were ever found in this situation without everyone having to thoroughly research first!!!

  3. Praying for this family. @Suzee, did you visit the family's blog? What a horrible thing to say. A quick search on Google would seem to completely disagree with your horrible supposition. http://adopttogether.org/moghadam/

    1. For the person who said, that the possiblity of them being involved in child trafficing is ridiculous! Please read the families blog!
