What happens today is critical for our little boy. We are praying for success and favor for your family.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17052283467023725037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668995971145288694.post-1943468563453638102008-12-15T18:02:00.000-06:002008-12-15T18:02:00.000-06:00I have been thinking about you a lot the last coup...I have been thinking about you a lot the last couple of days.

I realize that most of the kids on Reece's are very young but you never know. <BR/><BR/>Funny, they placed our healthy son with us without even mentioning that he had a sister, one year and two days older, in the same orphanage! It took two and a half years of letter writing and a trip back to Ukraine to find out just exactly what her status was. We were the only ones who could ask being the guardians of her brother. Turns out she was almost adopted by a local woman (again, they were willing to separate these two)but the woman's family kept harassing her about Olena being half gypsy. So, the adoption fell through and Olena's paperwork was never sent back to Kyiv. She was adopted six months after we filed power of attorney to check her status. This separation is just one of the many changes the system has made over the last few years. Praying that Valya is declared free to become your daughter soon, very, very soon!

You can only do what you know you can do. You can only do what God has called you to do. We will keep praying for these siblings and for God to watch over them. I am so proud of you and Nancy and I am so happy to call you my new friends.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07158435911486266847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668995971145288694.post-49572843489915055912008-12-15T15:38:00.000-06:002008-12-15T15:38:00.000-06:00We will continue to pray!

If Valya is to be your daughter, He will move on her behalf! You are on our hearts often, and we will keep lifting you up to the Lord.Debora Hoffmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09947148491137183181noreply@blogger.com
