Monday, October 27th is our appointment

This is the date we've been given when the adoption agency called us today.  It is essentially just about 2 weeks away and it has us really hopping right now.  We'll appear before the State Department of Adoption (SDA) in Kiev on that day and then travel to the orphanage 2 hours outside of Odessa.  We're arranging flights now and making sure we get in early enough to make that appointment.  We hope to talk with V and B on Friday to tell them of the plan.  Please be in prayer for us as we are feeling quite overwhelmed with arrangements to make for Kevin, Jason and Kelly.  More later as there's so much to do.   In spite of it all, He is still sovereign and in control.  Pray that our faith will remain strong and focused on Him as our Jehoveh-jireh (meaning the Lord will Provide).

Job 23:10-12 - But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold.  My feet have closely followed His steps; I have kept to His way without turning aside.  I have not departed from the commands of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my daily bread.  But He stands alone, and who can oppose him?  He does whatever He pleases.  [TRIALS PURIFY THOSE WHO CLING TO GOD]

Fundraiser Update

Hey everyone,

The Clark family would like to thank all who were able to join us at the adoption fundraiser and everyone who contributed. We were overwhelmed with the love and generosity that was displayed. We were very encouraged!  

Kevin and Pam Greer had the idea to host the fundraiser about a month ago. As word got out, we know that many people helped out in some way. Although we don’t know all the people who helped, we are very grateful to everyone. To some whom we do know:  thanks to Lauren for all the help with the food and raffle items, to Erick and Kaleo for loaning the grill, to Meredith for baking the yummy cakes, to the “Raffleteer” Josh Petras, and especially to the entire Greer family for hosting the event and all your work!

In our quest to finalize this adoption process and be ready with the funds we are lacking, we took a big leap forward with $3,000 raised from the event.  Thank you everyone so much.  

We, the Greers and the Vanderburgs continue to pray and wait for that phone call which will give us the "green light" and date when we must appear before the Ukrainian State Department of Adoption. Please be in prayer for all of us. 

Once again our heartfelt thanks!
Robert, Kim, Tiffany, Kevin, Jason, Kelly
