Saying Good-bye..Thursday


Katya, Natasha, Sophia, us, Andri, Natasha (social worker), and Jonathan.
Photo 2 is Rustam, Sasha, Andri, Jonathan, & Shauni...saying good-bye to Jonathan.
Photo below is all the older children, and helpers and us having pizza and cake.
It's a beautiful photo! Some of us had tears today.


We had a good-bye party for the kids today, and it was nice. We had pizza, cake and juice.


The kids sang and danced, and we handed out a few good-bye mugs with our children's photos on it. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed our day.

Chris & Jonathan go home tomorrow, Friday, and I will be picking up the kids and taking them home to Kiev until May 19th. Jaclyn's birthday back home. I hope I am home before the clock strikes midnight so I can kiss her goodnight, but I missed Andri's birthday, and Pasha's so if I miss Jaclyn's exact date, so be it.


We are planning a birthday party for her and a family party for Katya & Jaclyn, so that will be fun, and I have to keep looking forward to coming home, as this process seems to be taking so long.


Love from Alesia & Chris

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
