A few months ago, I shared with you our plans to adopt sweet Yana from Russia. There was a tiny problem....Russia wasn't going to let us have her. We were hoping and praying for some glimmer of hope, but after two months, it was made clear that the door to Russia was closed for now.
As a family we are in mourning. We already love Yana and believe she is meant to be our daughter/sister one day. We are trusting that one day the doors of Russia will be open once more, and we will be one of the many families anxiously awaiting their child.
Until then......we have chosen to not close our hearts to the idea of another sweet child needing a family.
About a month ago, I noticed a sweet face listed on Reece's Rainbow. At that point in time, we were not ready to consider "letting Yana go". So I just started praying for this little one to get a family soon. Little did I know, that we were the family he was waiting for.
I would like to introduce you to Nigel!
Nigel lives in another Eastern European country and was abandoned at birth because of this Down Syndrome. But in our opinion Nigel, like Yana, is perfect just the way he is.
The Turley family will continue to love, pray and wait for the day when Yana is in our arms. Until then, we have another sweet face to love, cherish and prepare our home for.
We have a lot of paperwork to get going on not to mention some money to raise. So stay tuned for ways to help us bring our sweet lil' man home.
Thank you all for your continued prayers and support through this trying time for our family. We are so excited to embark on this great adventure to bring our son (and one day our daughter) home.
