I am sitting on our back patio watching my babies ( the dogs ) play in the grass. Lady and Bear are going to love playing with children. They are so gentle to be so big. Not to much to report on our travels. the SDA will have our paper work on May 14. By the end of June we should know travel dates.

Ukrainian law has changed. Singles and couples 45 years older than the child they wish to adopt are no longer able to. I hate to even type this because Ukraine is making a Hugh mistake.

These children deserve a loving home so they can grow up to become great adults. It must be very challenging to live in a country once ruled by communism. You get used to the government doing everything for you including raising your children. I know there are wonderful people in Ukraine that love and care for children. I pray that someday they all will know that God loves them and that they can live without government doing everything for them. Right now in Ukraine there are missionaries that are trying to reach children. One such outreach is crossroads.
