For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jer 29:11)

Making some changes

The reason for this long time without updates is that after much prayer and research we have made some changes in the direction we are going with the adoption.  Bulgaria was not going to end up being as needy a country as we thought and the wait for a boy with the specific needs we were considering could have been years (apparently Bulgarians do adopt children with minor special needs).  As our direction started shifting and we began to consider other countries our hearts continued to be inclined toward the Eastern European orphans.  All this is leading up to us announcing we are now starting a program to adopt a child from the Ukraine.  We have seen several little boys, some who are actually babies, with minor/moderate needs available on waiting lists.  We are praying specifically about adopting a precious little guy on one of these lists.  Please pray with us that God would give us wisdom and peace as we move forward with Ukraine and choose a child.  We are very excited to see what God may have for us in the months ahead.  We will keep you posted on any new developments.

You both are such an inspiration. We will be praying for you and the little boy God gives you.
