I am truly sad that had to happen to you. I am so sad your little girl did not survive. You named her, just like I named my first child….God ways are truly so hard for us to understand… and I hoping and praying that you will still be able to become pregnant and have another baby soon.

Hi Olga, its been a blessing following you guys story. I did have a question, I know you guys wanted to adopt from Russia because that’s where your roots are, and its been a challenging process to say the least. Have you guys considered to look at other countries? And with prey rs to God and His help, maybe the process would be easier and faster?

Your story is inspiring and your recipes (on the other side) make me nostalgic. Much energy to you in your path to become parents to a child who needs home and love

Wow! What an incredible story. I came across your blog from the link on Money Saving Mom on how to make homemade English Muffins. You will be in my prayers. I can empathize with loosing a child and not knowing if you will live yourself, though my experience wasn’t nearly as serious. But it still hurts – I really liked your post on What Not to Say in a difficult situation.

Sorry this is kind of a random comment, and all jumbled up, but your story really touched my heart, and I just felt like I needed to let you know that.

Comment on Russia signs a law banning adoptions from US by Violetta

Olga,
It looks like your family is very set to adopting, but have you ever considered maybe fostering or adopting in the US. There are so many kids here in our country who don’t have loving homes. My husband and I are blessed with two little boys and even though we can have our “own” kids we have been looking into fostering, we feel like it’s God’s calling to us. Those kids (in foster homes) are not perfect, they come from wrecked families with abusive or addictive parents, but to God- they are his children. Just because my son is born into a Christian home- it doesn’t mean that God loves him more than another 2 year old boy, whose parents are drug addicts. If God loves them the same I know with His help I can love them the same also. I don’t your feelings on this, but to my family a whole world has been opened. The thought of such small children all alone with no parental love just breaks my heart. Even though we can have our own children, this is an opportunity to serve those kids who are already here. We have been praying about this and are also waiting on God to send us an opportunity (with time and resources).
I hope I didn’t offend you in anyway. I’m sure God will guide your family into the correct path, and God’s timing is always perfect.
Blessings to your family!
V

You can only hope and wait. It drives me crazy to think that someone in the government thinks it’s better to keep kids in orphanages with nothing to offer rather than give them an opportunity to a new life, new family.

Olga, you are an inspiration! You are a truly blessed woman. Your faith in the Lord, your optimism, hope, and the love you and your wonderful husband have for each other is truly inspirational. Thank you for sharing your life, your pain, your thoughts and your encouragement. If you ever get to Idaho, consider yourself to have ‘family’ here.

Hi Alena!
I’m so happy to hear about your cousin! Is it Tanya and Roman by any chance?
We are still waiting. Since we never even got a referral, right now the answer from Russia is “no”.
The US government is still trying hard to convince Russia to allow all families who were registered in Russia to complete their adoptions too, so we’re hopeful. Thanks for the support:).
