I am still numb, but processing it all. I still find myself checking for news. That, I guess, will take a while too.
I assure you that had the ban not taken affect, we would still be on the journey. Each family has there own reasons for staying the course or changing directions. Each circumstance is different. We just feel that God is not leading us to fight Putin, the Dumas, and European court at this time. We feel that we can better serve, by serving other adopting families at this time.
I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you that have supported us along the way. We love and appreciate you all. Thank you to those with kind words of encouragement now. It is incredibly hard. It will take time. Thank you for grace.
Christopher and Laura
