Deciding To Adopt One Child Under 4 Years Old

This morning Robert and I felt a prompting in our hearts to speak to Alla about pursuing one child instead of a sibling group, since the sibling groups that we pursued last time were all out of country on sponsorship programs. We didn’t want to waste anymore time to see if the sibling groups are available to visit and proceed with the adoption or not. We’ve been here in Ukraine a week already today and at the NAC for 3 days in a row with no outcome as of yesterday.



So this morning we invited Alla over to the apartment where we are staying to discuss the matter and to let her know we are ready to move forward with the adoption of one healthy child under the age of 4 years old. We stressed to her our concern of pursuing a sibling group again since the 6 sibling groups of kids we looked into were all on sponsorship programs either in Italy, Spain or USA and wouldn’t be back for a few weeks to a month. She understood and saw my emotional level was about to break. We told her that we came here for a reason and that was to adopt a child or two. As of yet we are still in the same standstill as we were when we arrived in Kiev a week ago. Alla reassured us that they will do the best they can for us to proceed forward with our adoption.



Since we submitted our letter of petition to get a second appointment with the NAC to look and select from the files again, we waited to see when our appointment would be. Praise GOD!! We were given an appointment for Monday, Aug. 1st to go through and select again. We are so thankful that we don’t have to wait 5-7 days for a second appointment. HALLELUJAH!! The favor of God is definitely upon us and all of our prayers have been effectual and continue to avail MUCH!!! Hallelujah!!! GOD IS SO GOOD!!



Robert and I are hopeful about our upcoming appointment on Monday and we believe that God will reveal our forever child on Monday, August 1st . A new month for new beginnings.



We feel like this has been a soap opera story and you all have been the viewers….As the World Turns….or …and this has been “The Days of Our Lives”…Just trying to keep a sense of humor throughout this wonderful week at the NAC.



Anyway…that is the saga for today. We are hopeful about our appointment for Monday, and would appreciate all of your prayers for favor to be shown a healthy child under the age of 4 years old and that the child is available to go and visit with either Monday or Tuesday.



We love and miss you all very much. Feel free to email us at rkmillilo@msn.com . We feel out of touch with everything going on at home and would love to hear what everyone else has been up to.



Until tomorrow…same time…same station….same channel. =)
