A Big Announcement!

I am so excited to finally be able to share this news...

DANIL HAS A FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An incredible family has come forward to commit to adopting Danil.  In fact, the commitment story is quite amazing... the parents made the decision to adopt him the exact same night that I had immense pressure on my heart to start this fundraiser for him.
We had never spoken, we didn't even know of each other.  The next day, the family prayed about their decision, because they do not have the money to adopt him. They felt God tell them to be at peace, the money will come. Imagine their shock when they logged onto the computer and found a newly created link to a fundraiser being held for the very boy they had just decided to adopt!

Seriously, I get chills. I don't quite understand how people can deny that God exists when they hear stories like this... how many "coincidences" must happen before they can finally say, "Gee, maybe there's something more to it?" 

Anyway, Danil's account is still greatly in need of growth, because this is a lot of money the family is going to have to pay in a very short amount of time. Please help add to Danil's grant fund so that he is able to join his new family as soon as possible.

On a side note, there is a family currently adopting Danil's little buddy at the orphanage.  The mother wrote to me yesterday to let me know her new son and Danil were hanging out together, so she got to see my little love. He is a tiny, beautiful little prince, and, though small, has been well cared for in this orphanage. Please pray that the orphanage allows Danil to stay in their care until his family is able to come and get him; we do NOT want him transferred and exposed to the institutional setting.

I ask that you keep this family and Danil in your prayers; pray that they have a smooth and speedy paperwork process, and that Danil stays healthy, strong, and safe while he waits for his family. And once again, please consider giving to his account!  The money goes directly to Danil's grant account and will solely be used for his adoption expenses (the family itself does not receive the money, so if an adoption falls through, Danil's account keeps the funds.)  Remember, every dollar gets him one step closer to his new home, so please consider giving, even if you only have a few dollars to spare.

The ring giveaway is an added incentive to give between now and October 31st.  Remember, every dollar you give is one entry to win a diamond ring! 

If you don't feel comfortable donating through the ChipIn at the top of the page (it is safe and secure, run through Paypal), please email me for instructions on mailing a check instead.

Thank you for visiting, for your prayers, and for your contributions to bringing Danil home!
