We are so excited! Our dossier is officially delivered to our facilitator in Ukraine -- and she's in the process of translating it! Then, hopefully, we'll be travelling in 5-7 weeks. At least, that's the time frame we've been told! I've been able to get to the point where things have slowed down -- the paperwork is done! The auction is over and most items have been distributed -- so I can finally start to just think about Sasha again. I'm so looking forward to getting to know her. I wonder about the life experiences she's already had -- wondering about the healing . . . the process of redemption she will experience in her life. I wonder about my biological kids -- how they will embrace her, how they will challenge her or she challenge them.
I know that we are called to be Sasha's parents. Any concern that these thoughts bring just lead me back to the grace and sufficiency of HIS power at work in Quincy and me to bring healing and redemption into Sasha's life.
Please keep praying for our family as we walk this journey. PLEASE pray for Sasha - for all that this change will bring into her life. So much more than our own. She will walk into a family, into a language, into a country, into a life -- that she knows nothing about. God's grace will be all she needs!
