This is a picture of the Park family. The cutie in the middle is Elijah (his Russian name is Mikhail). This picture was taken in June 2008 in a hotel lobby in Moscow, just a few hours before Elijah finally got to go home and be with his Mommy and Daddy (and 3 brothers in America) FOREVER!
Elijah lived in the orphanage with Caleb. Elijah and Caleb received the gift of forever families on the same day. We spent a total of (just about) 5 weeks in Russia with this precious family. D and I still thank God everyday for giving us such incredible friends. We got to share every moment of our adoption journeys together. We never would have made it without them!
To us, Elijah and Caleb are brothers.
Now the Elijah's parents are in the process of going back to Russia to adopt Elijah's baby brother, Alexander, from the same baby house in Siberia.
Please pray for this family. They will most likely be receiving their official referral very soon, which means their first trip to Russia will be in the next few weeks. They do not have the funds at this time to complete the adoption of Alexander.
