Joyce,

     I've simply removed the adult names.  Can I otherwise paste this on my 
prayer chain like this;

Dear Prayer Partners,

     God hears prayer.  Here is an encouraging letter from Joyce Schaller 
concerning upcoming adoptions.  This is because you pray.  Please continue 
praying for kids to be adopted by Christians all over, and for the needed finances 
and administrative work to make this possible.  

"Janey: THANK you for putting out my need for prayers for the Moldovan 
children. You know, I still have no idea if the kids will be allowed to come, but 
all those kind words have helped me to realize that this is a ministry I must 
continue. That the truth is whenever God blesses something it attracts the 
attention of a darker power that then gets joy out of the obstacles that get  in 
the way! I was seriously going to quit. But after hearing from so many people, I 
have come to realize that I just can't quit that I cannot give in to Satan!
With that in mind, I wanted to share a very special story with you. If you 
would like to share it, please do.........:
 
A Miracle to Pray for....
You know, Artur is so happy that his dear friend Andrei has found a loving 
family in Florida. Every once in a while he is able to speak to Andrei and he 
just sparkles about Andrei's new found life and joys. However, you must know 
that a group of children from orphanage 46 in St. Petersburg was to come here 
this summer also, but when Pres. Bush invaded Iraq, the St. Petersburg officials 
denied not just the 15 children from Artur and Andrei's orphanage summer camp, 
but all 300 children from the area were denied the chance to come in 
 protest! ! Can you believe officials using these children and their chances for 
families as a political tool to register their disagreement with American policy in 
Iraq!
Anyway, one of these children is named Nikita. When Artur thought he could 
come he was ecstatic! Apparently, Nikita, Andrei, and Artur together were quite 
the classroom clowns! And Artur was hoping that maybe, just maybe Nikita would 
close to us so he could see him and maybe go to school with him! Well, guess 
what?! There is a family who is considering adopting Nikita, and they live in 
walking distance to us!! I have not told Artur because I do not want him to be 
upset again as he was when he realized that none of the orphans were going to 
come this summer. Right now, this family is at the beach, with a picture of 
Nikita and they are praying and thinking about if they should bring him into 
their family!
Please pray that God will speak directly to their hearts to bring Nikita 
home! Nikita is 11 years old and he will soon turn 12! So, something must happen 
for him soon if he is to find a family!
 
Another Miracle to pray for...
All of the families who were hoping to host children with the intention of 
adopting are now hesitating to adopt. Since the children were not allowed to 
come, they are afraid that their adoptions will somehow be negatively affected as 
well. Anyway, there are two families though, who have decided to take a leap 
of faith and pursue the adoptions of the children they were hosting! 
Miraculously these two families attend the same church together. The R******** family 
called me just today to tell me of a miracle of God telling them to do 
this---you see they were "on the fence" and they know that the costs of adopting are 
not easily done for them. So, they have been praying to God for a sign. Well, 
their sign came-you see people in their church found out they were 
thinking/praying and that they had financial needs that needed to be answered to help them 
make a decision. Well, do you know, in less than a week that people donated 
$1,200 to them, which is exactly what they needed to do their homestudy to 
begin the process! AMEN! They have faith that the rest of the monies will come 
together with prayer and their hard work! Debbie R******** and their son 
delivered about 1000 phone books to add to the adoption fund as well! The R******** 
family is adopting a little boy named Vladimir who is currently 11 years old.
The other family needs many many prayers too! The B****** family has decided 
to adopt not one child, but 3! They are planning to adopt two little boys and 
a little girl all at the same time! These children are siblings and their ages 
are 6, 8, and 9!!! Their children's names are Vladmimir, Natalia, and Artur 
(like my son!!) Like the other family they are not sure how they will fund 
their adoption, but are working on yard sales and other avenues to bring their 
prescious ones home too!
Please pray for these families as they begin their adoption journey! Pray 
also that God will bless them and help them bring them home!
I believe all 5 of these children will come home to Virginia! And I will be 
so glad and your prayers have buoyed my soul which was in such a dark place-a 
place where hope could not exist, but now, as you can see, I have reason to 
hope, and a real reason to keep fighting for these kids! I hope you will all join 
my voice in prayer! God Bless all of you for shoring me up in my most 
desperate hour. Joyce Schaller FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Ar
