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.

My friend Bill Murray......

We've been in Kiev a week now and Bill Murray's movie Ground Hog Day is starting to feel like our reality. We have our passport but no "Letter of No Objection"- a Canadian thing necessary to get a Visa attached to the passport.  The province says it was sent on Tuesday, nobody knows where it is today.  All this means is we may be stuck here past next week! Please pray for us and this letter.  At seven weeks from home, we're past feeling at the end of ourselves, and we ask God for strength everyday. Trouble is, we wax and wane in our knowledge that it will be ok, little things become big things. Hopefully soon.......

Here's a great pic of two lovely ladies

Life on a day to day level has been pretty good.  We have our little routines, find ways to get to know each other better, lots of tickling, laughing and having fun and a little bit of pouting. Life.
Thanks again for all your prayers and kind words.

    We'll certainly continue in our prayers for you! Hope to see you home soon. Lilah is quite thrilled that her and Shye both have a sister named Lucy now!

    I hope you packed parkas. It's going to be a white Christmas. Monday is a good day for missing paperwork to miraculously be found. Gonna mention that again to the big guy....
