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.

Out and About

Yesterday we took the Metro for the first time and did a bit of sightseeing.  While Lucy asked several times if we could go home, she actually held up quite well.  
St. Andrew's
Kiev
This is the street we "live" on.

Today we walked around our neighborhood and discovered a wonderful cafe and a much needed playground.  
Lucy's love language :). She had an enormous sandwich and couldn't stop beaming!

This evening we met with some new friends, Russ and Cissa Newberry (who are also adopting) and Karen Springs (who works here in Ukraine with Orphan's Promise) and we had a lovely, refreshing visit - in English!  Karen gave us a Russian version of The Jesus Storybook Bible.
All in all, a good day.
