• WONDERFUL NEWS!!!  

  Just received an email saying that the adoption of Viktor and Vladimir is FINAL and they will hopefully be arriving home on the 17th! 

  Do y'all remember them?  The brothers Don and I were going to host, except the LORD stepped in and provided an adoptive family?  Only the older brother, Viktor, wasn't sure he wanted to be adopted due to the unhappiness of his older brother, Sergei?

  It's been an on-again-off-again process with him, and when Jacquelyn and John got their court date, they also learned Sergei was planning upon petitioning the court to have the adoption denied.    So they headed to Russia not knowing if they'd be bringing either boy home.

  Haven't heard any details, but the email contained the important news, which is the adoption of both boys is final. 

  

  Thanks be to God! 

  Though please lift up Sergei to the LORD....he's only nineteen years old, and was, I believe this is accurate, the eldest of eight children.  He's now going to be the only one left in Russia, and he's lost contact with all his other siblings.    No wonder he was loathe to see his remaining two brothers leave for America.

  So please pray the bonds between the brothers remain strong, even though they are separated by distance.
