Earlier this year we were so blessed to receive a Christian Orphan Fund grant in order to adopt a little boy from Ukraine. 3 weeks before we traveled we found out he was no longer available for adoption. \u00a0After much prayer, we decided to adopt another little boy in Ukraine. \u00a0We wound up spending 2 months in-country because of delays that occurred during the Ukrainian Revolution. And then, we came home with TWO boys instead of one.<\/p>\n

These boys have gone from an institution to a family. And it has been such a blessing to us and our other children. Thank you so much for all you have done for us in enabling these boys to join our family!<\/p>\n
