Pictures...




I am posting some pictures of our boys. The first one is of Aleks going into 8th grade and Dima going into 7th grade in September, 2008. They put on their new clothes and new backpacks and were ready for school. The orphanage emailed this picture to us. The kids werent too happy because they only returned to Kiev from visitig Oregon, couple of days before school started. But they sill look so handsome!!! The other three pictures, I received from a friend who traveled to Fathers House for the last 10 years and helped them a lot. She has taken these pictures and emailed them to me today. The pictures are from many years ago. We are so fortunate to have these pictures of our boys and to see them when they were just kids...now they are growing into handsome young men.... We thank God for leading us to them and that we can be their parents here on earth. They are just adorable!!!! And to think that they were registered with the SDA for so many years and not even one family came to visit them to concider them for adoption! We are grateful to have them in our lives!

What a treasure to have the photos of the boys when they were younger. They are growing into handsome young men! It amazes me that so many older children are not even visited when they've been in the system so long. My heart goes out to them! I want to bring home three or four and then go back for more!
