We haven't said much during the last week. We definitely fell in love with the boys, however they are not going to be our boys. When we were at the SDAPRC we were not told that there was a fourth family member. A three year old little girl. The short story is that after we were informed of her existance each official said it shouldn't be any problem to adopt the boys as she was already placed with a Ukrainian family. In the end the children will not be split up, we understand, but it isn't easy.
Now we get to practice what we have taught and said for years. It is not our plan but we trust that God does have a plan.
We will leave for Kyiv tomorrow. We could ask for a second referral but today we don't feel like thinking of anything. We could be leaving for home anytime from Wednesday through next Monday.

So sorry for your change of plans. I am heart broken for you. You sound so strong.

Just wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you and praying that God has a plan, even though it is hard for us to see it and to continue trusting in Him.
Sten and Julie
We are very sorry to hear of your rather drastic change of events. I know you have very mixed feelings and are heavy hearted.
God has a plan for you and it will be better, we just must have patience as He works it out.
Our love and prayers are with you and the boys.
Love
Ed and Carol
I am so sorry you are having to go through this. We went through a similar experience last December and I want to encourage you to consider going ahead with your second appointment...as difficult as it is to think about right now. We ended up waiting for our second appointment and brought home Maddie in February. Whatever your decision we will be lifting you up in prayer.
O NO! I am sorry I just caught this post! Praying that God reveals his next steps for you and comforts your hearts!
