Heavenly Father, we pray for the dozens of surrogate babies
awaiting their parents in a Kiev hotel, separated and delayed by the
coronavirus pandemic. The reality is a bit shocking: a surrogate baby industry
thriving in Ukraine: infants advertised as a “quality product.” Now the parents
of 51 babies face extra hurdles to collect their newly born children as
Covid-19 halts international travel. First, Lord, we pray for the children. May
they receive the best care possible in the absence of actual parents. Please
provide them with the love and attention, nutrition and medical care that they need
to thrive. Next, we pray for their parents, who likely struggle, knowing their
children are lined up with dozens of others, not receiving the kind of attention a family provides. Make a way for these parents to get to Kiev so they can
pick up their children, and grant them peace in the waiting. Third, we pray for the medical personnel and other
caregivers in the hotel, that they would have the strength, determination and
support they need to care for this many infants under these pandemic
conditions. May they embrace the great value in their work of nurturing these
young lives, even while suffering under the pandemic in their own, personal
ways. Finally, Lord, we pray for a healthy examination of this industry, now
that it has come into greater light. If anything should change about how
Ukraine handles this situation, may its leaders see that clearly and handle it
wisely. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
