Natalya, the little girl we first committed to adopt, has been returned to the orphanage. If it were at all possible, we would take her home to be Nathan's sister. However, our region only allows one adoption at a time unless the children are biological siblings. Even though we have struggled to understand this turn of events, we trust God and know that he has a plan for Natalya's life.
At this point, we must concentrate our efforts on raising the remainder of the funds needed to complete Nathan's adoption. We have only a few months to come up with thousands of dollars to get him home. Once his adoption is complete, we plan on becoming Natalya's best advocates and fundraisers. She is so beautiful and we earnestly pray that someone will see her and fall in love like we did. She is tiny and fragile and needs a momma and daddy's love instead of life in an orphanage/institution.
Lu from Poppies Blooming has stepped up to help us once again by making a beautiful button for Natalya. If you have a blog, we hope that you will post her buttton. The more she is seen, the better chance she has of receiving the blessing of her very own forever family!

Is Natalya back on Reese's Rainbow? If yes, I'd be honored to be a Christmas Warrior on her behalf. We just brought home our sweet Natalia and I'd been looking for a sign re: if I should sponsor a baby this season.
Found your blog by accident. It's nice to meet other SD folks adopting. We are from Mitchell and adopted two teens from Ukraine in 2009. Blessings to you!
SO her family is not taking her back? Hmmm...will add her back to the prayer list!
Praying for baby Natalya to find a family quickly!! Is there a way for you to see her while you are there? A new picture of that sweet baby to help her find her family would probably be a huge blessing. My prayers are with you and your family during this time of torn emotion. Congratulations on little Nathan. I have prayed for him to find a home since February (and it was you)! He is adorable! What a gift~ Blessings!

I can not find Natalya on the RR website. I have looked and looked. Her itty bitty picture is sooo cute. But she is nowhere to be seen. Do you know what happened to her sponsor/adoption me page?
Thanks
Jamie
