Holding Pattern

I have struggled with this blog, because frankly adoption is a slow process with a lot of waiting.  There just isn't much going on.  We continue to wait for our home study to be complete.   No one's fault, just part of the process.  So, while we wait, I have decided to use this blog to advocate for other children who desperately need homes.  Whether you have considered adoption yourselves or not, we are all called to care for the orphans.   There really isn't a shortage of families willing to adopt these children, but there is a shortage of funds. Many families look at the cost/ransom for these children and are overwhelmed and just cannot fathom it.  It is much easier to consider those children with large grants.  Please prayerfully consider how you might help.


Kolya is a 10 year old boy that has spent his whole life in an orphanage.  Please read about this boy.  He is eligible for an older child grant here.  Please consider giving to help him or one of the other older boys' families to bring them home.

YAY, a new picture of Kolya!!!    Kolya is almost 11 years old.  He will be the oldest child ever adopted through RR (with Down syndrome), so I am praying super hard for his family to find him!!

 

From his advocates and friends:  " Kolya – very delicate and sensitive child who catches every touch, every word or a smile. He may long to sit next to a nice man and just hold hands, enjoying the warmth.

Kolya – special in every sense of the child. He will never be like other children, but this does not negate his ability to enjoy the outside world and bring joy to others. Kolya helpful, helps nurse to collect clothes, toys, clean room. He said not much and indiscriminately, but to understand it is quite possible. He has a good memory. Kolya knows the names of geometric shapes, animals, plants, likes to listen to reading, to collect and puzzles to bother with the designers. Parents need to appreciate their strength, because they need the support of Kolya throughout life. But instead, they can count on sincere affection and love from a really good and loyal man.
