I donated, but wish I could just go get him. <br />Does anyone know why you have to go visit THREE times to adopt him? This seems like a huge hurdle for any family.maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05613163382453563548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-12197254291925368182012-02-25T17:32:01.960-07:002012-02-25T17:32:01.960-07:00Yep, I have talked to Susan and are praying for th...Yep, I have talked to Susan and are praying for them to get to Alex soon!

What is it like to not be kissed good night and tucked safely into bed? To have no one to fend for you? I wish I could bring him home.<br /> It's a shame adoption costs so much. <br /><br />Dear Mother Mary, can you please enfold these small children in your arms? I hope they feel and know the love you showed to Baby Jesus and all of us in your spiritual care. <br /><br />I'll leave it to someone else to explain to non-Catholics reading this blog how by praying to Mary I am not worshiping her or whatever the Mary objection is. We know this little one needs a mother's love and a father's protection. Right now, we have to put these little ones into spiritual care until earthly care can be found.Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173616693453942166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-45737709353718410582012-02-24T22:17:31.216-07:002012-02-24T22:17:31.216-07:00Oh my goodness, He is adorable!!

Please keep us up to date (email me or comment back here when they finally get their boy!)<br /><br />Meantime, thank you everyone, and please keep donating even though we reached the $2500 goal! This puts him in a better place to be seen and adopted, but he still needs a family to commit and the total for the whole adoption (including the required three trips to Russia with both parents) is about $35,000. Please, let's keep going! Thank you all so much!!!Leila@LittleCatholicBubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357573787143230160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-14576881347030586292012-02-24T11:38:02.919-07:002012-02-24T11:38:02.919-07:00Leila, so excited that you posted this, as this hi...Leila, so excited that you posted this, as this hits home close to my own heart. <br /><br />My brother and sister in law are also adopting a little boy from Russia in the same circumstances. Unfortunately for him, he has turned 5 and is in the institution. He has CP, and they are sooo excited to bring him home! (As are we!) <br />If you could pray for them at this time, they have everything ready on their end but are waiting anxiously for the "ok" to go get him but unfortunately are forced to wait...the original time to get him was March, but now it sounds like May. They are very disappointed and worried for him, exactly for the reasons that you stated before about the bullying. Prayers for Alex's safety and well-being would be appreciated. <br /><br />And, donated for this little boy too! I wish I could bring them all home!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451590537173713861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-7047206870585375812012-02-24T11:02:36.942-07:002012-02-24T11:02:36.942-07:00Donated!
