Hello!
Tonight our family will begin the long journey to Ukraine! We are going to Ukraine to take the next steps toward adopting a young Ukrainian boy who has become very near and very dear to our family in the last months. We look forward to moving this process along and spending some time with our little boy during the coming weeks.
We covet your thoughts and prayers as we finish preparing for this trip and while we are away. We pray for peace, patience, understanding, and for our family to remain supportive of each other during this time of so much anxiety, excitement, uncertainty, and joy. We know that while we don't know very much about what we will face during our trip, God knows what will happen, we know that He is bigger than our fears and apprehensions, and that He has a perfect plan for all of this and for all of us. We rest in that understanding.
Updates to this blog will come as we have news to share, time to write, and access to internet. We look forward to sharing this great adventure with you!
Thank you for your prayers and support.
May God Bless You and Keep You.
Love,
The Weeks Family
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. -Jeremiah 29:11

Hello to the Weeks Family on the other side of the world. Thank you for the great updates and for the scary photos. The updates make me cold and the photos make me very thankful to be living in Los Angeles. Foreign travel is always a great way to remind us how good we have it here.
ReplyDeleteSasha is very lucky to have your family go through this process for him. We are very lucky to have you in our lives. Enjoy the process as much as you can and we will be sending you good thoughts on a successful trip.
