So much of what you described resonated with me, as we've walked a similar path with our daughter (now 10) adopted from Ukraine. I thought you might like to read about her hip surgery. http://oh-three-ohana.blogspot.com/2013/06/surgery-details.html. Your son and my daughter sound like they have a lot in common. You and I sound like we have a lot in common...prayers for you and your sweet Ivan.

Tears of sorrow cause of what all Ivan has been through and neglected with but tears of joy knowing he is no longer there and he is in a home where he will no longer be neglected and he will be given opportunities to flourish as much as possible despite the previous neglect. He has a loving immediate family and Christian family who pray for him and I smile cause I know Ivan's life is going to be so much for the better learning about God, being in a home with you, Landon,and Ryan and his extended family and all the people who haven't even physically met him but are praying for him and with medical care that will be able to do a million times more than what would have been done in the Ukraine. I know they can't fix it all, but there is a lot they can and will.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10768921737807348044noreply@blogger.com
