Vitaly

There is a boy age 10, 6 years ago he could sit and understand what was going on and pull to stand. Now he can barely lift his head and is wasting away. He is so thin and his body twisted. He waits for a family. Will anyone come? Will they make it in time? He loves to be held and loves attention and can still smile. He recognizes volunteers. Please share him. He is in a place that allows older parents and large families. He deserves to have love and a family and food!! Please pray for him. This is his information....www.reecesrainbow.org/Vitaly

Freedom for orphans!!!

Waiting waiting waiting

Waiting for court dates!!!!! Seems to take forever! Brian made it back after trip one! He had fun using the metro around one city and got to meet up with some other awesome families and missionaries. And managed to find his apartment ok despite the first mix up! Although he did travel to another area by car and was expecting to return later in the evening but miscommunication, he was supposed to completely pack up! Oops again. But no one else needed the apartment that night and he returned the next day. He went to a small town to meet Whitaker. Whitaker has been chosen as a favorite and has been getting extra meals. His weight was good but no muscle strength at all. There are a lot if people praying for Whitaker and he has been given extra protection. We need more prayer for court. This area almost never does international adoptions because the kids are older and classified as severely disabled and are not chosen very often. So keep on praying! We appreciate each and everyone of you that has been praying along the way! It does make a difference. We did find out that court will not be together and we have 2 separate courts so this will entail a few extra trips across the ocean during busy travel times and increased airfare so pray for all the finances to come through and be enough is also needed! Sergei and Crosby continue to keep blooming!M spend 10 minutes with these boys and you can understand why we are adopting again!! Freedom for orphans!! God does not intend for them to be ignored and to suffer!

So Many Children

Brian made it safely and was able to meet Octavian! He is very sweet of course. Can give more details after everything is finalized! He met several other kiddos there as well and got to hold them for a tiny bit and offer some love!! My heart breaks for these sweeties!! This is a good baby house. The kids are taken care of best as possible! Tomorrow morning he travels to another area to meet Whitaker. Praying he is not in as bad shape as Sergei was. Things have been fairly calm so far. He did end up at the wrong apartment and building because everything looks the same! Luckily his key didn't fit and he figured it out! Oh my!! Jet lag probably had something to do with it as well! Thanks for all of those that are praying! We really appreciate it! More later......
