Today is NOT our GOTCHA DAY! We will not be "springing" the kids today. Tomorrow is definately our day! Long story short, 1. We are in Ukraine, anything is possible 2. Irina was told TODAY was THE day. She arrived at court this morning to find out our paperwork is not ready but will be by the end of the day. Not what we wanted to hear. We wanted the paperwork to ready first thing this morning so we could "spring" the kids and leave right away for Odessa. This ONE day will cost us many. We pray this "extra" day will allow Macey to continue to get well before traveling. This also means we will not be home NEXT weekend. Each "little snag" in the plans cost us more time here. Coming up on a weekend doesn't help with being productive. They only count business days here. We are bummed! We do not see the Big Picture. God knows why these little guys weren't suppose to be rescued today. We will make our usual visits today and try again tomorrow.
We also ask for prayers for our Best Friends, Chris and Mary Malone.
They are enduring a trial today. Their youngest (birth son) Eli is very ill. He is in the hospital as we speak. I would ask that you pray for them and for little Eli.
Remember, Eli is the little guy that we named Marcus Timur after, he is our inspiration for adopting a child(ren) with Down Syndrome. Yesterday was his 5th birthday. I would ask that you visit their personal website and offer your prayers and words of encouragement. www.themalonefamily.us You can read ALL about Eli's condition right from Chris and Mary themselves. Praise God they are HOME!
Blessings,
Meghan

What a dissapointment for you but we know that ALL things work for the good. I am praying for you that God will give you a peace through this. I have to keep telling myself that God doesn't make mistakes and this "bump in the road" is for a reason that we can't see or understand but He knows. Love you. Jim and Carol
We will continue to pray that God would make the way smooth for the rest of the paperwork. I am so glad you are relying on Him and His plan for your lives. Keep us posted as things progress.

Sorry to hear of this today. God has brought you this far, HE will continue to lead you through this process. We continue to pray for all paths to be wide open and the paperwork to be complete, very soon! It's only a matter of time that you guys will be on that plane headed back to Moore, America. Please stay positive and know that this will pass. Enjoy your afternoon visit with Timur and Macey, I'm sure they look forward to the time as well as your family does. XOXO to T & T, we miss them. LOVE EACH OF YOU, Aunt Tara and Family
P.S. Hope Natalia is feeling much better today!!
OK...so it's not the news that any of us wanted to hear, but we will accept it and move forward! After all you've been through, what's one more day, right? I know it throws everything off and heading into a weekend doesn't make it any easier, just know that it will happen! Lots of prayers for you all!!! Please keep us updated! (((HUGS))) ~Jen
We're sorry to hear of the delay but know that you can continue to trust God and His timing...may He give you His peace that surpasses understanding as you give your concerns and requests to Him (Phill. 4:6-8) We hope Macey is much better by tomorrow-- only one more day!
Love, the Adamsons
I am thinking of you and praying for you as you start your Gotcha day today. God knew you needed one more day of rest before the madness started. I pray that everyone is healthy and the time line is faster than you anticipated.

So sorry! I am praying for you and looking forward to your return. But, we know God knew this was going to happen. He is not surprised. Let's watch and see what He does through this. We love you!
You are in our prayers!! I keep checking every little bit to see if there are any updates. I pray that this is your day!!!!
"Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer." Romans 12:12
WE LOVE YOU ALL!! Jenn, Dan & CREW
