We were enjoying life. Our kids are grown. We have three beautiful grandchildren. We were even thinking about retirement. Then the second week in September 2006 came along. Steve was preparing the slides for the Sunday worship and previewed a video clip for a guest speaker. He noticed a cute little girl in an orphanage in Ukraine and commented about her to Gail. The next day, a young woman spoke about her ministry to orphans in Ukraine. When she spoke about adoption, Steve commented to son Geoff that "Your Mom is going to want to do this, but I don't know if I'm there yet." After the service, Gail came back to the sound booth and said, "Are we going to get one or two?" Thus began an adventure that could only have been orchestrated by the Holy Spirit.

Hi, Steve and Gail-
I stumbled across your blog when I was searching for something online. We are adopting from an orphanage in Odessa some time this year. Do you already know the child/children you will be adopting?
