Kirill

Please pray for this family from Alabama.

They have been attempting to adopt a little boy named Kirill from Russia. Kirill has Down Syndrome, and in that part of the world that almost always means life in an institution. They were literally in the Russian adoption court a couple of weeks ago, and the judge blocked the adoption because Kirill "has Down Syndrome and is not socially adaptable... and would be better in the institution than a family." The judge then told them they could adopt a "typical child" with no problem.

They are appealing, but have no idea what will come of it... how long it will take... etc.

My heart hurts for this family, and this poor boy who is so close to having a home and a family who loves him.

Please pray that they would appeal, and the courts would find favor and allow them to take this precious guy home.
