What's Next?

Saying goodbye to V*ktor was awful. Knowing what his future holds back home and not knowing when or if we would see him again... Well, there just aren't words. A and B continue to ask about him and wonder when we will see him again. Yesterday B told my friend, "I want him to come back. We should go get him."  Later A said, "Mom, I really hope V*ktor gets a family!"





When we started this hosting journey it was to have an impact on a child who otherwise had not much hope.  We have spent days (weeks and months really) praying for V*ktor and for his future. We have prayed that he would find a forever family.  Our hearts have been willing all along, but we just wanted God's will for what was best for him as well as A, B, and C. We prayed for another family who had the finances ready to go get him right away!  Through lots more prayer and finding out information on grants and help for adoption, we feel like God's plan is for US to have V*ktor as part of our family!  He fit so well, we love him, the kids love him, and he's a great kid who should have a family for the rest of his life!
We told the kids tonight. A and B are both really excited! C will be thrilled to see him, too.  A gave 2 thumbs up with a big smile. B prayed tonight "Dear God, please help V*ktor get here soon."
So, once again we're diving in :)  We are beginning the homestudy process.  I (we) have MOUNTAINS of paperwork to do.  The whole adoption price tag is overwhelming, but we know God will provide if this is His will. At this point, we need to fund the homestudy before we can apply for grants with nonprofits. So, as my friend Mary would say, we're going to "put out the fleece."  If this TRULY is God's plan for us (as we feel it is), then the funds will arrive to do the homestudy.  If we are not to have him in our family, then God will close the door.  We have already brainstormed through several fun thoughts for fundraisers in the future - more to follow on that.

For now, if you have fallen in love with V*ktor like us and are wanting to help with the homestudy, you can use the link below or send it in the mail. Later, I will have a link that will be tax deductible donations that we can receive later in the process, but this is the one I have for now!
