Oh, no - I know Kyle's sweet face - before transfer - very well, as his picture is printed on my Reece's Rainbow tote bag and also on a small RR notebook. His big brown eyes are haunting, especially in retrospect.
I wish someone could send these photos to Putin and record and report his response. How can this kind of evil be allowed to persist, and excuses made for it??
And why didn't Kyle's family find him before the current ban took place?? He was listed with RR for years, and certainly people were aware of him. Thankfully, as of now, Canadians can still adopt from Russia. I hope some good Canadian family will learn about Kyle and be moved to make him theirs. What has happened to him is evil.
Also, if anyone knows of any NGO which is still allowed to work with Russian orphanages and institutions (many have been kicked out recently), I hope they'll share that info here, so readers can support them.
Meanwhile, over in Ukraine, Bible Orphan Ministry is doing great work with children in similar places...at least some of those kids still have a chance of being adopted by Americans, unlike Kyle and the other thousands of children in Russia...see www.bibleorphanministry.blogspot.com for accounts of their work.
Thank you for sharing this very distressing news - hard as it is to see, it's important that it be known and shared.
Julia would you please, please ammend this post to say that this country is closed to adoption by Americans? It is much more difficult to adopt a child with SNs like Kyle's in Europe, but there are a few countries where it is possible.
Julia, my heart is so broken for him and for all the children I know he represents. Jesus, come quickly!!! Thanks for all you do, my friend.
ReplyDeleteyes it broke in a million pieces
ReplyDeleteSo sad...how and why does this happen??? I so wish and pray for a better life for these children.

ReplyDeleteYes, my heart is broken. Such a beautiful boy!
ReplyDeleteTook my breath away. So very sad. So very sad.
ReplyDeleteYes, my heart is broken for him and the other orphans. It is so hard to understand how governments/people can allow this to happen.
ReplyDeleteI cried.
