FREEDOM

Freedom for Sergei! Today is a day of great rejoicing but also a day of sorrow! Sergei is now safe with Brian and my daughter Natalie! They are now in a safer region! But there are many children that got left behind that had families working towards adopting them and rescuing them from a life of neglect and starvation. This is due to a new country coming in and taking over this region! This country forbids Americans and a lot of other countries from adopting, so the children suffer! There are also a lot of families grieving right now that they will not be able to bring their child home. So while I am so grateful for our little Sergei, I am also sad. Sergei is possibly the last child to escape a life sentence in a mental institution from this area in the world! And when you see little Sergei the way he is now it breaks your heart. He has severe burns on his thighs. A size 3 diaper is way too big. Remind you he is 6 1/2 years old. He literally looks like a skeleton. Bless his heart. He is so happy despite his condition. Now we have to wait for court for Crosby. Usually court is within 2 weeks of your appointment but it has been over a month! This means a lot of extra time in country and extra funds needed but we serve a mighty God and know he has these details figured out!
