I thank God for pointing me in the direction of you. Your heart for the orphan children in Siberia seems equal to my heart for the orphan children in Kaliningrad! And not too many people "get" that. Thank you for these words, for this reminder that I needed to hear today. It's not about me, or my family, or my comfort, and I've known it all along. It's about the love of Christ for the soul of an orphan. And THAT is why I go...<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Shay<br /><br />http://shaytoshay.blogspot.com/2010/06/i-thought-this-day-would-never-come.htmlShayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14055318353670944402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29308661.post-26293472039631863342010-12-28T03:26:30.121-05:002010-12-28T03:26:30.121-05:00I am struck.

With the needs of this world, the paths that we are given, the faith by which we choose 'the next thing.' <br /><br />Keri's blog and comments journal a very real sense of "showing a young girl a world that is not possible for her." Even here in America, young girls who are given this message need a Keri in their life to challenge that limit to sources and acceptance.<br /><br />Many thanks to Keri and her suppporting viewers!<br />YenelliYenellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14531733684536607828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29308661.post-64343329453720759702010-10-02T11:15:03.174-05:002010-10-02T11:15:03.174-05:00Amen to that!Amen to that!Christie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738612207150868577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29308661.post-20200049512459755802010-08-03T13:31:42.149-05:002010-08-03T13:31:42.149-05:00You knew, however, that Ukrainian adoption was not...You knew, however, that Ukrainian adoption was not a possibility for you. The unfortunate thing here is that a young girl was shown a world that is not possible for her. And, while I don't know the details of the hosting process, I would venture to guess that there were participating couples who could have had a chance to host AND pursue the adoption of Dasha. Whether in jest or not I find your including Dasha in the conversation about "husband shopping" to be grossly inappropriate. I suggest for you and your daughter that you move on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29308661.post-17130592935807806372010-08-03T11:20:53.686-05:002010-08-03T11:20:53.686-05:00well said indeed!well said indeed!stellarparenting.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04975942737904876508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29308661.post-3618225796545258392010-08-03T09:34:57.750-05:002010-08-03T09:34:57.750-05:00Very well said!!

What?! And the talk of vacations and splurges is making me cringe. We more than likely will not be able to adopt because of stupid money. <br />Your blog has really helped me through all this. Please don't hold back! ;)<br />~NanetteNanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12335848414732954709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29308661.post-57978375542534819372010-08-02T13:38:12.496-05:002010-08-02T13:38:12.496-05:00I overheard someone telling someone else that they...I overheard someone telling someone else that they were planning to buy a particular house in the neighborhood that they wanted to live in and they were planning to tear it down so they could have the lot to build on. The house they were planning to tear down was in pretty good shape; it just wasn't as large and new as they wanted. That seems to me to be truly obscene.<br /><br />My immediate thought was "how many peoples' fees for adoption could you pay for with that?"<br /><br />Eloquently put, Keri. You are inspiring.<br /><br />Rosemary ClarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29308661.post-59562557364125731822010-08-02T12:51:29.403-05:002010-08-02T12:51:29.403-05:00Well, put.
