Off to the US Embassy

This morning we headed off to the US Embassy to sign a few documents that will be needed later in the process and to see where it is. We needed to sign these documents since it doesn't look like both of us will be here once we get everything done to bring the kids home. The Embassy itself is quite easy to find, just a short bus ride from our apartment, although we got a ride there today. We then took the bus back from there to our place.

Then it was off to the orphanage for Alesia and Jonathan and off to work for Chris since I had a talk to give today. All went well and we hooked up again in the evening and had a McDonalds chocolate shake as a treat.

Tomorrow we will head to the orphanage early and then there will be several going away parties for the children at their school that we will attend. We may also be doing some driving around during the day for more document collection.

The long holiday weekend starts on Saturday and they have off until Tuesday. It looks like the weather is going to ge great with highs here around 80 and sunny. Chris will head to Berlin for a day starting on Monday and returning on Tuesday to help with an issue that they are having there.

So, we hope to get as much paperwork done in the next week or so to keep the process on track. Thanks for your continued prayers.

Chris and Alesia

Pray for those who persecute you....

Matt 5:11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven...."

Matt 5:44" But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of the Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.


Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear.....

Phil 4:5-9 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate on these things.


2nd Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

We adopted 4 older siblings from Ukraine in 2010 and hope we can help.

We will share what we learn and help you when we can. There are great supports here on this page. Sometimes it's one day, moment and breath at a time. And you're not alone. Love, Alesia & Chris
