Ukraine adoption laws changing

Right after we arrived home from CA last night we checked email and found some changes in the Ukraine international adoption laws.  It looks like they are now restricting adoptions of children under 5 to only a handful of severe special needs cases, this is the first report we have received.  We found a baby boy from Ukraine on a waiting list last month and our agency has been trying to find him for us.  He is so precious and we were really beginning to think this boy would be our new son but we realized last night that we may not able to adopt him after all.  Our prayer right now is that they will consider us as already in process and allow us to continue to adopt him or that they will consider him as a higher risk special needs because he was listed on a waiting children's list and will probably need surgery.  Whatever the case, we are trusting that God is in control of this situation and that He will unite us with the son He has chosen for us in His perfect timing.  As always, we appreciate prayers for this process!
