NEW FAMILY

We are excited to say that Shnaider has a family in the process of completing a home study and wish to adopt him. They have visited with him several times and are soooo excited about having him become a part of their family. We are expecting him to transition very well to them soon. He is very easy going and I think he will do fine. We are thrilled to see God's plans for him and our family. From the beginning we knew that we were not to adopt him but that God had a plan for all of us. We feel blessed to have been used to help him through some difficult months and surgeries. He has been a great blessing for our family to learn about helping others, sacrifice and listening to God's will and trusting Him to get us through all of it. We will miss his laugh and smile and all the funny things two year olds do. He is such a sweet good boy. I know this family will be blessed to have him in their lives. Thank you so much for all your prayer support for him and us through these last few months I am happy to have been able to share it with you.
We are praying that God shows us now what He wants us to do next for Him and His kingdom. I am happy to have built a relationship with Hands that Heal and will continue in that partnership even after Shnaider leaves us. It is amazing to me what can be done with God leading and I cant wait to see what is next for us.
