My name is Kim, and my family has just started the process to adopt a beautiful 6-year-old boy from Ukraine. We found him through Reece's Rainbow, and I think you may have met him. I would be over-joyed to talk/write to you and find out if you know more about the sweet boy that we hope God will make our son.

Just an hour or two after reading this, we found out that the two brothers we had fallen head over heels for have just been adopted by another family already. It feels a bit like a miscarriage (which I know all too well), but at the same time, our prayer had been for God to get them out of those orphanages asap. He answered our prayer, just not in the way we had hoped. Although I grieve "our loss", my heart is content knowing they are surrounded by the love of a family now. We are still willing to prepare for our Ukrainian adoption, although we don't yet know who God is going to bring into our family. That's where trusting in His perfect plan comes in. He is fully capable of revealing the right child(ren) at just the right time. Your post here spoke right to my heart. And God knew I needed to hear the "good news" JUST before I heard the "bad news". Thanks for sharing your story.Rick and Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03297284992144798931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892185831053278380.post-87458279191546641522011-07-16T20:07:24.431-07:002011-07-16T20:07:24.431-07:00I know what you mean when you say that with God, y...I know what you mean when you say that with God, you are all in. It's not easy sometimes, and love in particular is messy.

I too am so blessed by your heart and your trust in the Lord, even when it just doesn't seem to make sense. I too am happy that she will be an orphan NO MORE and that Dasha found her way home as well.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12182918486812141978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892185831053278380.post-75544580987897814772011-06-23T14:18:20.461-07:002011-06-23T14:18:20.461-07:00Traci,

I have been praying with you that God would open the door for you to go back and get her. God answered but not the way I/we prayed. I am so grateful that she is finally going to have a family. That is a major answer to prayer. I know you are so happy and so sad. I know too though that you gave her to the Lord a year ago with great mourning and here it is - a year later - and we CAN rejoice. I am going to pray that little girl HOME. Pray that nothing stands in the way for her to finally be free and clear. Rescued. I am so glad that God orchestrated a meeting for you. What peace that brings to you I am sure. God is good. Tender. Kind. Loving. And in reality - TWO LITTLE GIRLS are free. TWO.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04814524050417570766noreply@blogger.com
