GOD IS GREAT!!!!!
Most of you probably won’t believe this. As you remember, in March we found out that another family was adopting Matthew’s brothers. We didn’t pursue any of the options we had to interfere with their adoption since Alex had been hosted by the family and most likely had formed an attachment to them, plus we didn’t want them to spend any more time than they had to in the orphanage waiting for us. We were very disappointed but hoped that we could establish contact with them when they arrived in the states. We continued to communicate with Vasya through missionaries and sent him a couple a packages while he waited for the family to finish the paperwork and mandatory ten day wait. We had been unable to find out why it was taking so long. In the last couple of weeks I have been trying to discover if it was possible that the family took only Alex and left Vasya. The orphanage staff said it wasn’t possible and Vasya said the family was still waiting on some paperwork from Kiev. Well, yesterday our facilitator e-mailed us with fantastic news! The SDA contacted him asking if we were still interested in adopting both boys, he said yes we were but hadn’t they already been adopted? They told him no. We were very excited! If nothing else happens we should be able to adopt Matthew’s brothers and they will finally be reunited. We don’t know when-hopefully next week we will know more. Keep praying for us and the boys!
