We're about to bring our son home from Ukraine. Friends of ours leave tomorrow to get their daughter. The paperwork has been filed. The bedrooms have been prepared. In other cases, adoptions are just being pursued. Homestudies are in progress, fundraising is in full swing. And for almost all the children that came with Ruslan to be hosted last summer, a "forever family" is on the horizon. Almost all of them. Except for one.
Meet Vova. He is the only child from last year's hosting program that is still hoping for a family to call his own. Now before you tell me that you don't have room in your car, house, schedule, budget or heart for another child...just hear me out. Time and time again, I have been amazed at the connections the Lord makes to bring these children in to homes. So, if you have a moment, please share Vova's story, and let your friends and family know he is dreaming of a place to call home, a family to love, and a chance at a brighter future. You never know how God might be working behind the scenes to put His perfect plan in to action. You never know who might know someone who knows someone who knows someone who has been wanting to adopt. It's happened before, even with some of the children that came with Ruslan last summer. So, you just never know.
Or, maybe it is you. Maybe you're reading this, and God has placed a stirring in your heart. Maybe you've always thought about adoption, but just weren't sure how it would work logistically, financially, etc. Now is a great time to learn more. Ultimately, a "forever family" would be the goal for Vova, but a strong advocate family would certainly be a blessing as well. Someone who could take Vova in to their home for a few weeks, and advocate for his placement in a family.
Anyone interested in learning more about Vova can talk to the family that hosted him last year, and can also learn more from Redline United (http://www.redlineunited.org/). He's a great little boy, dreaming of a family. Can you help make that happen?
