Lindy is the mommy, Genesis the daughter, Guy is the daddy and the two boys they are rescuing are Gabe and Levi---Alexander may have been theirs, a different time, a different day. BUT he is gone. When they inquired about him they learned he was already transferred. They are at his old orphanage ransoming Gabe and Levi now.
Lindy has shared videos on her blog of Gabe and Levi and their story while in country right now. Click hereTHE HOUSE'S. Genesis noticed a little girl in Levi's group was wearing the tank top Alexander wore in his video with the ball (you can see it in the upper right hand corner of my blog side bar). There are remnants of him there but that is all.
I should be somewhat grateful he is not there, or else they may have adopted him as well. He was moved so we could ransom him--this provides me no comfort. None. Today is not a good day. While I am overjoyed with all the adoptions taking place right now it is hard. Most recently, one family how started their journey just 9 days before ours learned they will be traveling--just days from now. It hurts. Envy has no place in my heart, but the pain of knowing Alexander must still wait is rough.
Please keep praying for us. Please. We still need our homestudy finished--our home visit was exactly 3 weeks ago today and then we will file for our immigration.
thank you ~Christie~

It breaks my heart that you are going through this and that Alexander is waiting. I pray and continue to pray all the time that things move quickly from now on for you. I refuse to believe this is a mountain that must be moved but rather a hill that must be climbed and just when you think you will never get to the top- you will. You are doing everything in your power to get to him and you will get to him. I know it is hard to feel so powerless and without control especially when it comes to our children but you WILL get to him!! I have faith and belief in that for sure.
We were side-lined too. We watched all the families pass us. It was hard. Everyone was there and back getting their kids and we were stuck. Months stuck. I know how you feel. It is so hard to watch a family start at the exact same time you did and within 4 months are holding their child and we stuck trying to get past immigration. That was our major holdup..
Then we got to the Ukraine and were sent home. For a horrible month. Again watching families go over and come back and we were sidelined.
It happens. To a lot of people. The Davis family - They started right before we did and they only got Kirill today.
We just have to hold on to God's timing. None of it is easy. None of it.... I'm praying that your paperwork moves quickly so you can go get that boy. You have many many people who care deeply. We advocated for Alexander last Fall and we deeply care where he is and what is happening to him. You are not alone.
