Dear Readers:
In the last few months we have had both blessings and disappointments. Two of three families that traveled brought their children home. One young girl and one young boy. Both children are "healthy" and enjoying their new life in America. One family had a wonderful experience in their region. Enjoying the early and late fall weather and exploring some of the country. The second family had a less comfortable experience as their adoption moved into November the weather turned cold and the heat and hot water never came on. Living conditions were difficult to say the least. Families need to be prepared for the best of times and the worst of times.

The third family arrived to find that there were no young girls available for them to adopt. Though they met several children, they were not to be the parents for those children. This is a situation that no one anticipated occurring. It was disappointing, to say the least, for the family. Please keep them in prayer as they consider their options.

Today another family, that has waited over 6 months, is in the air, on their way to their child. Please remember them as they spend the Holidays away from family and friends. It will surely be a Christmas they will never forget.

Today is Independence Day for Kazakhstan. Celebration is to be held on Friday. Christmas is celebrated in some families and January 1 and 2 the New Year is celebrated.

May God Richly Bless Your Efforts of Kindness and Compassion during this holiday season and Throughout the New Year.
