Home Study Completed!!

Yeah!! We finished our home study and are moving forward to the next step in the paperwork chain.  Please continue to pray for a smooth path.  The women we have worked with love the Lord and His children and it has been a blessing having them to answer questions as they arise.

God's hand has been so evident in this whole process.  The day after Oleg left, I missed him so much that I googled his orphanage to see where he lives.  I found a  site from a woman who had adopted a son through the same orphanage and she posted a ton of photos.  While looking through her pics, I came across photos of our Oleg smiling among other beautiful children.  We have been in contact with her since, and heard some of Oleg's history.  We have also been in contact with another family who hosted Oleg last summer and received some amazing photos of his vacation in California!  Yet another mother has sent me some spectacular photos of Oleg that she took while adopting her son from Oleg's orphanage earlier this summer.  What a blessing to know that these women have made a positive impact on our boy's heart.  This was such an amazing gift directly from the hand of God.  I couldn't stop crying from the joy.  Thank you Jesus!!  

Also, we have learned that Oleg has a 5 year old sister; we are hoping to learn more and pursue her in adoption as well!!  We know that with man it is impossible, but with God all things become possible.
