Here is an update on the current situation in Russia. Despite news to the contrary, it appears that adoptions have NOT been suspended. In fact, our agency has reported that several American families currently in Russia have been permitted to proceed with their adoptions. A delegation from the US State Department is scheduled to meet with Russian officials next week in Moscow regarding the ongoing situation. While there is always the risk of shutdown in international adoption, including Russia, most insiders are optimistic and do not believe the situation regarding the Russian adoptee from Tennessee will lead to a shutdown of adoptions to American families.
We are waiting patiently through this with HOPE and trusting God for the outcome. We know His heart is for the orphan, so He surely cares about this even more than we do! Please continue to pray for us while we wait and for all of the families and children who are waiting, too. Thanks for all of your prayers and encouragement the last few days and for taking time to sign the petition this week. We will keep you posted as we hear more!!
Russia Adoption Confusion Rattles US Families
Update on Status of Russian Adoption "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." ~ James 1:27
