These children are beautiful! It makes me think were my 4 could be if we didn't responde to our calling. We adopted 4 beautiful, amazing, smart, caring children from Russia. Our 1st boy and girl in 2003 from Rostov and then our boy/girl twins from Novokuznetsk. The twins will be home 2 years this Christmas Eve. They are truly our Christmas Blessings.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all you are doing for these children. Beacuse of your journey, maybe you inspired more people to adopt. You are a courageous woman. God Bless. Amy from PA
Love the photos! Thank you again for all of your work and all the joy you bring to them. Thank you also for being a conduit with the funds. It is very rewarding to know the money went directly to the kids and was spent on things they need and enjoy! I hope you are on the mends.
ReplyDeleteIf it were a perfect world, they would all be adopted into happy loving homes. They deserve it so much.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures and precious children
ReplyDeletebeautiful kids...thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. The children are heartbreaking. Do you know anything about V? Do you know how old he is? Will he be participating in the hosting program that you mentioned? One of my friends is looking to adopt a little boy (5 or under). She has applied to the past two hosting sessions that our adoption agency has had (this summer and this winter) but there have not been any boys in that age range for the program. Please let me know if this may be an option with V.
ReplyDeleteHi my name is Courtney, my real name was Tatiana Anatolyevna Safronova. Im 14 years old now, and i want to tell you that i grew up in this exact orphanage. I was adopted in 2005. And looking back on all these pictures makes me so sad because my life is not great i mean im getting good grades and everything but the thing is i want to find my mom and getting there has been so hard. I just want to talk to her and ask her why she did this to me. And, does she realize what she did, made my hart just brake and everyday i always say to myself, maybe she had to give me up but when my adoptive mom showed me all the paper work and everything about her is was so hard to read because she didn't have to give me up she chose to be with her new boyfriend and because he didn't want children she put me my 2 brothers and my sister, into the orphanage. But, my sister was just a baby then and she got adopted way before we did so i've never got to see her or meat my own sister or brother. I got adopted with my older brother Wyatt, which is now his name. But, the reason for me to right this is to tell all the children in this orphaned that have faith in yourself and you'll always end up ware your suppose to be. Like my mom says " you've had this terrible thing happen in your life now this is a way of God giving you a second chance and you should cherish that." And when i grow up i will find her and i will talk to her and i hope that the main lady in this orphanage (sorry i dont know how to spell her name) gets to read this and try and remember who i am its funny because i have a picture with her in 2005! But, anyways im so happy ware i am America is such a great place and i hope all of these kids get a second chance:) well thank you, Courtney.....
