Ukraine Update

Hi Everyone,

No time for a "real" blog post, sorry this will be lacking fun lyrics and flowing themes ;)  But, I know many of you have been following Ukraine in the news and wanted to let you know-for sure, we have too!  There has been an escalation of political unrest and violence over the past few days-a lot more tension with Russia as well.

You can read further details just about anywhere, try here or here.  I've spoke with our agency and they say it's business as usual, but I am trying to get in touch with adoptive families who are there now as well as find further details about continuing adoptions in the Easter cities of Ukraine.  The bottom line is this is bad-for everyone.  Ukrainian citizens, many orphans in those Eastern cities, and all adoptive families in process right now could face further challenges if this escalation continues.  Please pray for all-especially our own process and for peace, timing, and safety!

That's all for now, hopefully my next post will be back to its normal snarky filled prose!
