Today, we had the precious opportunity to skype with Vanya again. I wanted to share a small bit of inspiration with you that came from Vanya's own words to us today. Jim and I were telling Vanya how excited all of our friends and family (and even some strangers that we've met recently)are about his adoption into our family. His response was a very clear smile and then he said, "I've never had that before". Is anyone crying yet? Here is a 16 year old boy who has never consistently been loved, supported, and celebrated! Thanks to each of you for doing this with us!
As an item of prayer, we received news today that our dossier, which was to be submitted in Kiev on Monday, has 2 errors. This is most certainly a set back as it can sometimes take a lot of time to make even make minor corrections to these types of documents. Even in my disappointment, I am choosing to trust in God's timing. "Sooner" may not be "Better" for reasons we don't understand. However, we NEED PRAYER FOR THIS PROCESS. I haven't mentioned it before, but we are actually on a ticking clock of about 4 months remaining to complete this adoption. After this allotted time, the United States will stop the process because of Vanya's age. We really don't have any time to lose.
Please pray for speed, protection, and perfection of our documents! We will be tackling the corrections on Monday and would very much appreciate being covered in prayer.
Thanks to each of you and don't underestimate your impact!
"We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life. But those who make their journey home across time & miles, growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them, are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us by God's very own hands".
