We have reached a midpoint in the adoption process. I have gathered the last remaining forms together, notarized the immigration letter received, and sorted the forms ready for the apostilling process. Once this is done, it is now a matter of Fed-Ex'ing everything to Ukraine.
The last few days have been a bit of a challenge to my faith. I have stressed out quite a bit with the adoption process and worrying about how to raise the money to pay for everything. I have wondered how to find the time and ability to coordinate the various ideas I have and finding the extra hands to accomplish it. It is hard sometimes to let go and let God, esp. when you are so used to depending on yourself to do the necessary tasks. Maybe God needs to stretch my faith a little (maybe a lot!).
I pray that God will use my meager talents and multiply them for his glory. That is all I can ask!

Why waste all this money? There are soo many kids in America who need adopting.
ReplyDeleteEven the poorest abandoned children in America have opportunities that the orphans in Ukraine will never have. Anyone who attempts to adopt internationally should be commended. Good luck to you, my prayers are with Snezhana and Ilya.
DeleteI don't see this as a waste of money. Just because they are overseas doesn't make them any less worthy.
