WE MUST KEEP PRAYING.
My friend Jenny has shared with me that things are NOT going smoothly in their efforts to get Vitaliy out of Russia and into their family.
More than likely, he has been transferred to a very ugly, frightening place. They do know that he was NOT admitted to the monastery where they hoped he would be able to go. :(
They are NOT giving up, but their options are incredibly limited. Their most recent attempt to bring him home was met with a big fat NO.
How would this affect you? I'd be incredibly crushed.
On top of this, their domestically adopted daughter has a half sibling who was about to be born. They were asked to adopt him.
They rejoiced with this news!!
They named him Solomon Robert.
His nursery is ready.
And then...birthmom changed her mind.
Double whammy.
Can you believe it????
Neither can I.
We must keep praying, sweet friends. We cannot let up. This family is under fire. They have their hearts open to children who are in need of a family both domestically and internationally. They have not said no to special needs. They are denying themselves and following Jesus.
And it's gotten messy.
And their hearts are broken and achy.
Jenny said, "I feel depressed, but functional. I am so grateful for the 3 kids here to keep me going."
Please, please keep praying.
She also said like the warrior she is, "Faithwise, I am not shaken. For the first time I'm asking God why but I still know this is for our good and His glory. I just don't see it. It's so dark."
They also have maintained a commitment to continue going to Russia to visit Vitaliy until it is no longer possible.
Will you take on this family to pray for them? My heart screams that we need more prayer warriors on their behalf!!
Maybe you would be willing to send a message or prayer of encouragement to them? You can contact me on Facebook to do this or leave a comment here.
