Dear Cynthia and Randolph Nelson:

Words cannot express what the kindness of “A Child Waits Foundation” and receiving their generous grant means to us.  A family is something that we have dreamed of for over 25 years.  We suffered a hurt for basically a lifetime.Receiving your grant has helped bring to life this beautiful dream which we will treasure and honor every day of our lives.  But more than what the foundation did for us is what “A Child Waits” did for a little girl on the other side of our world.  Emma Grace will have a family of her own.  Emma Grace will be able to receive the proper medical care, love and nurturing that every child deserves and far too many living in the worlds orphanages will never receive or even know exists.  We realize we have a hard journey ahead of us, but know it is a journey meant to be and we can hardly wait to begin.  We hope you don’t mind if we keep you updated on Emma Grace.  We would like to send pictures periodically to your foundation as a reminder of a little girl you helped bring home to America.


Most people live their lives day by day for themselves. A handful reaches out to make a difference.  Everyone involved at A Child Waits Foundation are included in that precious handful.  Please remember that every day of your lives and be so proud.  Once home and settled in and caught back up with life and money.  Emma Grace and I are going to start our own little fund. Maybe be able to pay for one child’s VISA home a year.  I want Emma to understand that we need to help make a difference in her own way for the waiting children of the world.


With most sincere and never ending thanks for your kindness:
Scott and Lisa G.
