A Test of Faith
Although I have watched the video above more times than I can count, the tears flow freely every time I watch it. As a mother, my heart aches for each of those children and I wish that I could take each of them into my arms and whisper in their ears that they are special, beautiful and beloved children of God. The statistics are heart wrenching and I wish that I could find a way to bring each and every one of them into a loving family.
We have been approved by our government to adopt up to three children. While I do not feel that we will adopt a third, I pray every day to know Heavenly Father's will and that, if Joshua and Evan are meant to be the only children we adopt at this time, that I will have the strength to look into the eyes of those precious children and know that it is HIS will. It has truly been a test of faith for me!

Hi, Valerie! I found your blog through the Seyler's adoption blog and was humbled to see that our Orphans of Ukraine video was in one of your posts. Your family has a wonderful story and we look forward to following you on your adoption journey.
