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.

What We Woke Up To

This morning we woke to fresh snow!  Feels like minus 5 and still no heating.  Our apartment owner brought us a little space heater and it takes the edge off, just barely.  Camping indoors :)

Our visits are going well.  Our little one seems to have had a growth spurt since friends met her here several months ago.  Most of the clothes I brought will be on the small side so we'll have to shop for a warm outfit for her here.  She looked up into my face and called me "Mama" yesterday.  Warmed my heart.

Shye is doing well and loves her younger sis but has still struggled with sharing Mama and Papa.  Please pray for her transition.  So much change.

We're off to the local mall this morning.  We think we've figured out enough to purchase Shye a ride pass.  There are several large signs at the ticket booth with loads of words and numbers and we've been trying to translate enough to make some sense of it!
