Author Archives: admin Hopefully it won’t be much longer and I can share with so many of you who have been praying for T–and what the Lord has in store for her. IT IS GOOD STUFF!!! But there are a few more hoops that must be jumped through and details that must fall into place–so we want to […]  One of my New Horizons friends hosted a 14 year old boy Dzintars this summer. We got to know each other through the New Horizons for Children board–and it was amazing to see how this kid responded to family and their love. HE IS AMAZING! Dzintars truly THRIVED with Maijian crew this summer–and it was […] Thanks Andrea!!! You rock!!! Determined to see this kid in a family one way or another!! I shared your post on my blog. My readership is small, but who knows who might be the right person. Thank you advocating for this young man. Blessings. Stacy, My husband and I have read everything you’ve posted about Dzintars and are very interested in learning more about him. We live in California and are just starting the adoption process. Any info you can give us to lead us in the right direction to get more information in possibly adopting him we would so appreciate. We will stand beside you in praying for him. Also, could you please tell me where he is located right now? Sincerely, Stacy, One more thing, I noticed on the web site for New Horizon that they require an 18 year age gap, well my husband and I are 31 which would be 17 years older then Dzintars. Do you know if it’s a tricked policy or if there is a little leeway? Some times you go into something thinking you are going to make a difference…and instead–you come out being the one who has changed most of all. I know every person in our family would say this–we are forever changed by the little girl who lived in our home for 5 weeks this summer. We put […] Andrea, I am sure your heart must be grieving in many ways. Thank you for sharing every detail of this journey together. I have enjoyed traveling with you and witnessing God’s miracle from afar. He is not done with the story yet. I believe there is still another chapter waiting to be written……. Have a great loonngg nap!!!! Please tell me what song it is that is in this video. Who sings it? It is beautiful. I noticed it in another video you have of T. She was singing it and could hear you singing it as well. I thought of T, you and your family today. I am sure it was a sad day. I am very sure it is easier said than done, but try to think of it as more of a “see you later” than a “good-bye”. Blessings You have made a difference in this young girl’s life that will grow and spread to others in ways none of us can even imagine today. Thank you for sharing her with all of us. Praying for you all! Cannot wait to see what God does in this sweet girl’s life. What a blessing! I would love to get involved with this.  We’ve had an amazing few days. Amazing. And I’m a little speechless at all He has done. After a year of dealing with Lyme disease–having put our China adoption on hold a year ago–I thought we’d do what we could this summer–and if God wasn’t leading us to pick up our adoption again yet–we could […] sniff, sniff, sniff…lot’s of prayers coming your way Andrea. LOVE the videos! Your blog is an incredible look into your life. I have followed all summer, wiping away tears on almost every post. I’m so glad you are telling this story, allowing us to see lives changed by the love of God. I will be praying for your family this week. Andrea…I’ve been following along on T’s journey the past few weeks. I haven’t been able to comment on every post…but I am reading and praying. I want to tell you ALL how VERY PROUD I am of you. I’m proud of you as a friend. For the constant dying of self and following what you know in your heart is right. I’m proud of your beautiful kids and husband who are making big sacrifices in giving up your attention. I’m proud of T for overcoming her fears and boundaries and allowing you to see the gift of who she is. But I’m most PROUD OF GOD for working a GOOD WORK in the lives of the Youngs. Love and HUGS to you all! My tears are dropping…amazing story! Praying for Princess T’s future to bright and stay connected with you and family. Well thanks for making me cry like a baby Andrea! My kids now officially think I’m nuts (it was only unofficial before). It has been amazing to experience your host experience with you – I know you have touched so many other people by sharing your experience. I will keep T in my prayers for sure. Gosh I can only imagine what you must be feeling right now – prayers for your mama’s heart as well! God Bless you all! WOW! I have just fallen in love with sweet Tetyana! I cannot imagine what you must be feeling, Andrea! I will be praying for y’all on Thursday and in the days to come! What a blessing to have been given this opportunity to make a difference in the life of this precious girl! Thinking and praying for you today. I will continue to hold your princess in prayer! Blessings to you! I am CRYING!!! Praying for this sweet precious girl! I just know that the Lord is holding her in His arms right now, and He will make a WAY for her!!!! Reading this ex post facto knowing that we were there in Ukraine on July 30 2012 with the people HE was calling to be her parents having dinner at Fridays. Feeling their discouragement and now looking at another desperate situation reminded that Gods got this and how, how, how, can we forget so quickly when He answers so big big big. Thanks Andrea for writing all this out when you had to be exhausted and didn’t know what was gonna happen and it looked so , so bleak.  Life is still ticking along–and I have such sweetness to share from the past 48 hours with princess T. Some serious sweet time. Seriously. In 5 weeks–I have gone cross-eyed many a day…practiced slow breathing to remain calm;)…and thought I might have seriously jumped in water well over my head. But folks–in the past 5 […] TEARS!!! So precious! Praying for your heart and that of T’s. I cannot imagine how difficult that send off will be. Joining with you in interceding for a place for her when she returns to the Ukraine. I don’t say home, because I think in both your hearts, home will always be with you. |

Our family has continued to pray for her since I first read about her story!! I know God has an amazing plan for her! I never even knew about hosting until I read your blog..We financially can’t do it right now, but as we get older, and more settled it is defiantly something we are thinking about doing along with adoption! God Bless your family! You are reaching more people then you even realize =)
Praying for you and your family! I can’t wait to hear what is in store for T!!
