Get ready, friends, for when I know, I will certainly share who they are!!!
Thank you, God, thank you for not leaving Alexander behind...now, maybe, I can let the healing begin. I am so happy for this family. I know I have my son home with us, but Alexander will forever hold a very special spot in my heart. Letting him go, in order to find our child, was no easy task. It was not a decision made in haste. I am so grateful God has revealed him to his family. There has been soooo much work done through this child. God used him as a precious instrument to save several children. Andriy, Kory, Sasha...he used him to OPEN our hearts to the notion of adoption--I can say without a doubt, without the video of Alexander and his ball, Shawn and I would never have started the process of adoption. If not for this beautiful boy, we would not have our baby home today. If not for Alexander, Sasha (now Alexander James R********) would not be home with his family now. If not for Alexander, Kory would not be going home to the House family in Florida. Yes, Lindy, Guy and Genesis met Kory while they were adopting Levi and Gabe last June--but they were told Kory was not available. Because of Alexander's mixup with Sasha and the uncovering of it all, it was discovered Alexander was the one not available (at that time) and Kory just needed to be registered properly to be adopted and now The House family are raising money to bring Kory (Kole) home.
Do you see, do you see how very VERY special Alexander truly is? Why he holds such a special place in my heart, oh, how the selfish part of me prays he will live nearby my home-state so I might be able to visit and meet him one day.
Please pray for this family, please pray their funds are multiplied swiftly!! I have seen God pour out the financial support they will need time and time again. Pray their process is quick and smooth, Alexander is nearing the age of transfer to the institution.
love,

"I will go before you and will level the mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron. I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who summons you by name." Isaiah 45:2-3 (NIV)

oh Christie this must just make your burst with joy!!! What a massive intricate plan God had in using Alexander. So many children with families because of him!! And now it's his turn!!! Praying things go smoothly for his family and that he is close to you! You deserve to squeeze this Dumpling one day!
Christie, I would love to print this out for him to read (or to read to him) later on - do you have any objections to that? (I've also save the FB threads where people posted they were happy when he was moved to MFFM). This little boy is so loved by so many, I want to make sure he knows it...
@Auntieof3, we're just focusing on getting him home right now; but once he is I'd love to meet the lady who started him on the path to freedom.... (by tracking down his bio-parents so they'd sign)
