This morning when I wrote my last post I was emotional thinking about Oleysia going home, running on very little brain power (happens more often than not these days), being climbed on by a baby boy and being begged for breakfast by two little boys. The result was a disjointed post that insinuated things that I didn't mean to insinuate.
But since Naomi came right out and asked... =)
We do feel called to make Oleysia a permanent member of our family. We have no idea how that will play out, how long it will take-- really, when we will even be able to begin. Actually, we don't even know if she'll say yes. In Latvia the children are asked if they want to be adopted or not, and sometimes they say no. Also, being in the middle of bringing our son home from Ethiopia obviously complicates things... a lot. Right now we are taking things one day at a time, which at this moment means loving her as much as we possibly can while we have her under our roof. We trust that God will take care of her and us and bring His will to pass. That's as much as we know right now.
Stay tuned to see how it all plays out...

I just had a funny feeling!! I am so so so excited for you and especially Oleysia. It is not a coincidence that God called your family to host her and I have not stopped wondering about the fact that you received one referral for a boy and not two at this time. Just perhaps this has been His plan all along ;)
ReplyDeleteWell I shall be praying and we shall see how His plan unfolds.
Thank you for coming back and sharing this with us!
hugs,
Naomi
You guys are such a real light in this world.... I just love you all so much! I'm praying that everything comes together and that you have clarity through it all.
