Introduction

Our family had the privilege of hosting an orphan child from the Eastern European country of Lat^ia over the 2012 Christmas holiday season through the non-profit, Christian organization New Horizons for Children.  For the purpose of this blog, I will not be able to use his name or location.  So, I will refer to him simply as W for "Warrior", a nickname that we feel is appropriate after having spent four weeks with him.  Also, I won't be able to post any pictures of W.  This is for his own protection.

After much prayer and consideration, we have been led to go forward with the full adoption process.  GOD has let us know this in many different ways.  We believe that W is truly a gift from GOD.  From everything that we have read and been told, the full process of international adoption for Lat^ia could take anywhere from 9 to 12 months to complete.

This blog will detail the entire experience from start to finish, including costs and travel, ups and downs, successes and roadblocks.  This blog will be kept private - only open to family and close friends.  A invitation will be needed to access the blog.  You can email me at malachi310@gmx.com to ask me questions about access.
