Bring Becky and Kyle Home!!!


First of all... Happy New Year! It would appear that I've forgotten about this blog entirely, and that would basically be true. The holidays have been a crazy good time at my house, and I hope they were the same for you. 

Now the serious stuff. I'm not sure if anyone reads this blog that isn't my friend on facebook, but just in case I am reposting a letter concerning my friend Becky, written by Becky's friend Mary Kay. This letter is just a brief description of the journey Becky has been on for the past two years in India. It has been a trying and difficult time for Becky, but her sacrifice is a true example of love.  


I want to share a story about my amazing friend Rebecca who needs your help. 
Rebecca traveled several times to India to work with street children and orphans. Two years ago, at the age of 29, Rebecca’s compassion for the street children of India, led her to move there. Two months after Rebecca arrived in India she received a call that would change her life. 

A young woman in a nearby village gave birth to a baby boy. The baby was sick and the young woman did not want him. She determined to discard him. The nurse that assisted with the delivery knew that a young American woman was working with orphans and street children. The nurse called Rebecca in hopes that the American with an open heart would save the baby’s life. 

Rebecca traveled three hours on the back of a moped to the hospital where the baby was. At the hospital she was met by foul smells, unsanitary conditions and a tiny baby who’s fate was about to be changed forever. Rebecca thought that she was there to help many street children but found that she was there to save one child, the baby boy that became her son. 

Rebecca nursed baby Kyle back to health and began the process of adoption. Although she knew adoption would be difficult, she did not anticipate it being near impossible. She learned that no American has ever adopted a baby from India where the baby was handed directly to the adoptive a parent without Indian agencies being involved. This made her case groundbreaking. It took Rebecca eight months before she could find a lawyer who said the adoption was even possible. Political unrest and an inefficient Indian court system elongated the process and it took two years before Rebecca could make history in India and change the adoption process forever. Kyle is officially Rebecca’s son. Unfortunately, the adoption was only part of the process. Now, Rebecca and Kyle are stuck in India working through the tedious process of getting immigration papers, visas, etc. Immigration is struggling with how to process her adoption because her case is unique and thus, Rebecca needs help to expedite the process. 

Rebecca’s DC advocate suggested that media attention would help expedite the process. I ask you to please give her story of compassion and blind love attention. Rebecca and Kyle’s story is both inspirational and a call to action. Her story will speak to the millions of people with a heart for street children and adoption. Her story is about doing what is right and fighting the long and hard fight for love. 

She and baby Kyle spend their time visiting children’s homes and spreading their compassion to the people they come in contact with. However, Rebecca longs to return to America. She wants to be able to work to support herself and Kyle. She would like to raise him at home near her family and friends. I ask you to help tell her story so that Rececca and Kyle can come home. 

Thank You, 
Mary Kay Jensen
