As many of you know, my husband and I have been in the process of adopting two children from Russia. In the past few weeks, there have been many disturbing events that were taking place that threatened our adoption. This morning, my husband and I found out that Putin had signed a law into effect banning Russian orphans from being adopted by US citizens. We are absolutely devastated. We don't know what this will mean for our adoption; we are just waiting to hear how it will all unfold. You can read more on our adoption blog.
At this point, I will be taking a week off from blogging as we wait to hear more from our agency. I ask for your prayers and understanding. Have a wonderful New Year and may it bring blessings to all of us.
I will keep you in my prayers.
I hope and pray that everything works out for you and Sergei. May God give you strength while you wait for answers about what will happen. We can only hope for the best.
i'm so sorry to hear about this.. we will be praying for you.. Happy New year and and may God bless you with everything you want....
The first time I saw this on the news, I thought of you and Sergi, and how this would affect your adoption.
Don't lose hope... God is in control!
Praying that it all works out for you guys... and you'll have your babies home soon!
So sorry, Olga. That is so unfair... for all the time and work you two put in for adopting kids from Russia. I do hope they'll let you guys to proceed and finish this adoption process... but if not, there is still Ukraine.... We'll pray for you, and hope that the New Year will bring you some GOOD NEWS!
Your family will be in my prayers.......

Very sorry to hear these news. Will be praying for you and your husband. Hoping that everything will still work out and you get to bring your babies to your wonderful home and get to cook awesome meals for them! Wishing you and Sergi a Happy New Year!
Olga, I hope everything works out for you guys. Happy New Year!!!
You came to my heart last night as I was thinking about the "friends" who were still in process. I've seen from one of the facebook groups that families in process may still be able to finish, but I don't know the true definition of "in process"- but praying they do allow this and praying it's families who have registered their dossiers!! Keep us posted!
Olga,
So sorry to hear of this. As soon as I heard of the bill I thought of you two. I hope and pray that everything works out for you guys. God has everything in His hands.
God bless.
