Yesterday really threw us for a loop. I've said that before, haven't I? I wasn't expecting to see that kind of bond between the three brothers. They've been separated for a long time, and before we saw Sasha, Eli and Isaac insisted that they didn't know their brother and no one would be sad about saying goodbye. After talking with Sasha, it seems his troubles we'd heard about stem from his wanting to be loved and accepted. He turns 16 this summer, and when asked, he does not have a plan.
So here we are. What do we do now? Pray. Pray hard. We are also researching our options. We want to help Sasha but haven't yet figured out what that looks like. I wish that lamp unto our feet were a little brighter.
Is adopting him out of the question? Because he has siblings adopted he can be adopted until he is 17.
ReplyDeleteNo option is completely off the table but we do have a 12 year old daughter at home to consider. We are continuing to talk with him.
ReplyDeletePraying for you that you will have great wisdom and that God's plan will be clear to both you and your husband, as well as giving Sasha comfort whatever the decision. And that your daughter will be able to joyfully submit if God makes it clear to you that you are to adopt him as well. Not easy decisions but God is good, all the time.
ReplyDeleteGod always has a way ofgiving you peace about the decision that lines up with His will. Seek Him and His lamp will not only appear but be as bright as the noonday sun! Praying for you guys :)
