Court

When we got to the courthouse this afternoon, Andrey was already there with the social worker. He was very distant. Wouldn't look at us or hug us. I must confess, it made me a little nervous. Mark and I both commented his demeanor reminded us of the first day we met and he said he didn't want to be adopted.

So what do we do? Go into prayer mode! Start speaking words of life! Claim this victory for God! It's not going to be a defeat. We've spent time with this precious boy and have started bonding with him and he with us.

Over an hour with the judge and this is the result....God did it and Andrey took a giant leap of faith!


Andrey told the judge "Yes," to being our son! May I introduce you to the newest member of our family..... Andrew Mark Mickschl!


Blessings,
Hansina

    Congratulations! I feel that God has great plans for Andrew and satan is going to do whatever he can to mess those plans up, since he's been working so hard to get Andrew to change his mind about being adopted. I will continue to pray for you and your family and for a hedge of protection and thorns over Andrew.
    Blessings!
