I felt I had to share some very distressing news that I heard just this morning. At least 10 regions in Russia have “shut down” international adoptions at this time. No one knows if this is a temporary situation or something that will be resolved soon. This situation is due to the fact of another adopted Russian child has reportedly died at the hands of the adoptive parents. I have placed a link below to the article about the death of this child. I have emailed our agency to find out if our region, Krasnoyarsk, is one that is affected by this “shut down.” I will update as we learn more information. We are very upset and saddened by this and all we have to cling to is that God knows best and sees the whole picture. His ways are not our ways and we must trust Him in this. We ask that you pray for our family and Nick and for all the other waiting parents and their precious children waiting to come home.
