Suddenly it's Spring: May 2013

MILLIONS!

There are millions of orphans in our world. That's millions of innocent children with no one committed to loving and teaching them as they grow. Far too many children aging out of their orphanages each year and expected to fend for themselves with no support and a great deal of stigma against their orphan status. There are many children with health issues who do not receive the medical care they need to survive or thrive. We believe that God, who offers to love and adopt each of us and meet our every need, longs for us to go and do the same. There are many hurting people in this world and many ways to help and we certainly don't expect that every person will pursue adoption. We do hope that more will.

Progress

Our dossier is heading to Ukraine at long last. This evening our facilitator there requested we email our homestudy so she can get a head start on translating. If all goes well, they will submit it all to Children's services in Ukraine in about two weeks. If it's accepted it will be approximately two months until we travel BUT they can be quite fussy about every detail being perfect. Therefore I come to you requesting prayer! I'm praying that whoever's working that day is feeling very agreeable and will be quite happy with every single piece of paper :) Feel free to join me!
