We've become friends with a couple who are in Ukraine now to adopt their two beautiful daughters. They surprised us last night with this amazing photo of our kids! The children asked them if they could get a letter to us. They pulled out paper and pen for the children and the kids sent us a note. God is so amazing!
Oh my goodness!! I saw that you posted a comment on my blog so I went to your blog...I know those boys!!! Are adopting them? I, very very quickly, scrolled down your blog to see but I did it so quickly (because I still need to pack for tomorrow) I still wasn't sure. The boys are with us the whole time when we minister there. Pasha hardly ever leaves my daughter, Dana's side. He gives bone crushing hugs! We just love them to death!!! I had not heard that they were being adopted adn I am sooo excited!!! I'm excited for the sweet little girl as well (OF COURSE!).
ReplyDeleteI will see them in just a few days and I can't wait. My daughter will cry when I tell her Pasha is getting adopted (happy tears of course). I have lots of pictures of them if you would lke to go through some albums. http://picasaweb.google.com/PamDeFrees
Sergey is in many of the pictures too and he was adopted. We're hoping he'll write sometime so we can hear from him, but we are soooo happy he has a family!
Pam,
ReplyDeleteThere is so much to say to you. Yes we are adopting the 4 of them. I would love to see the older two be able to come to study. We have been corresponding with all of them since last October and cannot wait to get to them. We told the two older brothers our plans a few months ago but do not know if the younger ones know yet. We were trying to wait until we mail our dossier to let them know, but so many people know now that I don't think we can keep it quiet much longer. Please hug them all for me and Steve. We are so ready to go. We are waiting for one more updated background check and then we can mail our dossier...and of course more funds. :o) He is faithful! I am so glad I found your site today. Tell Galia I said Happy Birthday. Her birthday is today. Tell Lyonya we are so proud of his soccer medal and Pasha we love his smile. Thanks for posting. Please let us hear how things are if you have an opportunity. Praying for a wonderful trip. Carol and Steve.
