"For He will rescue the poor who cry out and the afflicted who have no helper. He will have pity on the poor and helpless and save the lives of the poor. He will redeem them from oppression and violence for their lives are precious in His sight." Psalm 72:12

The Ukrainian Orphan
- * There are over 100,000 children in Ukraine's orphanages. * There are more than 450 orphanages in Ukraine. * 90% are orphaned due to their parents' alcoholism, imprisonment, or abandonment. * 10% are orphans because of the death of their parents. * After "aging out" of the orphanage system at age 16,* 10% of orphans commit suicide before the age of 18. * 60% of the girls end up in prostitution. * 70% of the boys end up in crime. * Only 27% are able to find work. * The older a child gets, his or her chances for adoption drastically decrease.

What a beautiful family, Jenny! Wonderful to see you all together at last! My heart and thoughts were with you all this afternoon and evening as I worked in the yard, watched kids swim and planted flowers. What a miraculous accomplishment to have this part of the journey completed in less than a year! You will surely have two exciting summers in a row! :) I will continue to pray for you and your family as you enter the next part of the journey and make all of the necessary adjustments to having three new children in the home. Thanks to you and David for sharing so much of your story...it has been a great encouragement and challenge to me. I'll look forward to hearing how things are going on the homefront...of course, after you all get some much needed sleep! May the Lord give you restful sleep tonight and a wonderful day tomorrow. God bless!
GREAT picture. So happy you are home!!!! Thank you for blogging your journey and allowing us to pray for you.
I just HAD to get on here and was hoping for one more day of your blog...a step down patch to wean me off of here. Great looking family. Love you guys! Got to go chop tomatoes and cilantro. Who will I tell this non-essential dribble to now?!! Bye!
Yes Chris I agree.....I check religiously and its been silent since Sat. night. I wonder what David is going to eat for dinner?
I wonder if they will buy the little fish for the kids,
Natasha I am sure will have everyone whipped into shape and she will be posting before we know it.

David hope you enjoy your first day back at work today. Hope the pool was fun this weekend. Sasha LIVES at the pool. Can't wait to see more pics. Love you guys - all EIGHT of you!
I'm signed out of your blog now - so no more "unauthorized" postings!
Oh, I LOVE seeing you all together!! Welcome home! Praising God with you all.
They say a photo is worth a 1000 words, but in this case the photo is worth much more than that!!!! Praise our glorious Lord for HIS divine guidance and support throughout this adoption. What a beautiful family you are. It's so awesome to watch God's bigger plan unfold. CONGRATULATIONS to all 8 of you!!!!!!
Welcome home! I'm behind on my blog visits. We've been very busy getting ready for our departure at 8am Sunday morning. We'll be just beginning as your journey has finished.
Thanks for letting me follow along:)
Best wishes,
June
