Yana

 

We are absolutely thrilled to share that my sister and her husband are in the process to adopt a sweet baby girl! The above picture of Yana was when she was a few months old. She is now a few months younger than our Jacob.

What a privilege it is to pray for them and encourage them as they begin this incredibly difficult process. This process has been made an even greater step of faith since Russia's president Putin recently signed a bill to ban all US adoptions from Russia. Reagan and Adam are continuing to step out in faith that God will move mountains to allow them to bring home this precious one. 
 
This is the link to their family adoption blog. On their blog are links to ways family and friends can help them bring Yana home. One incredibly easy way is through their fundraising links. If you shop on Amazon (as I do!) and click on their adoption link first, a percentage of the price goes to help with their adoption costs. So easy!
 
Please join us in praying for Reagan and Adam. Pray that this ban would be lifted, especially for these special needs children, like Yana, that desperately need homes.

Obviously adoption is very important to our family, so we are overjoyed that we would have a special cousin/niece brought into our family through adoption.
