From Our Family of Four to a Family of Five Through Faith. Monthly Archives: April 2014. April 27, 2014. We are praying for you Yana and Sasha! I thought I would share a few pictures… one day we will share the full story of everything God did leading up to and during our time in Ukraine to bring Natalia home. For now, I will reminisce with these images. Entering into Kiev (Kyiv)… this eagle is incredible. Our first glimpse of our baby girl in her SDA pic. Our guide, Eugene, took us to the Zoo…. My first ...

The Brantners: Adoption
http://thebrantners.blogspot.com/2013/02/adoption.html
Monday, February 18, 2013. There isn't a specific moment that I can pinpoint to say "That's when we decided to adopt; that's exactly when we knew that's what we were going to do.". As a teenager, I would spend several weeks out of my summers overseas on mission trips. I remember going to an orphanage in Latvia and being utterly heartbroken over the amount of children in need of parents and a family. From that moment on, I kind of had a feeling I would adopt some day. And then something as silly as our sc...

From Our Family of Four to a Family of Five Through Faith. November 20, 2013. We are settled into our apartment in our region and are enjoying the beauty around us and the ability to walk most places we need to go. We took the kids to a toy store at the mall in our city today and it was just what they needed… Familiarity! We miss our routine! We do want you to know that we have met and are in love. God created her for our family and we just adore her. We ask for prayers for health and wisdom in d...2 For...

Days of Rest | The Foss Files
https://thefossfiles.wordpress.com/2013/11/24/days-of-rest
From Our Family of Four to a Family of Five Through Faith. November 24, 2013. As I write, it’s Sunday afternoon in Ukraine. We have taken yesterday and today to rest and not do much. All the constant “on the go” was wearing us down. I have made a few runs to the grocery, but that’s about it. Yesterday’s weather was kind of dreary so it wasn’t too difficult for us to stay in, however today is clear and cold! They were all dressed up and our little one was the sweetest little angel! He gets so excited to s...

From Our Family of Four to a Family of Five Through Faith. Monthly Archives: June 2013. The Dossier is IN! June 14, 2013. Wow… I didn’t think those words would ever be uttered! Just when I thought I had it all put together, I’d realize I was missing something else. Well friends, NOT ANY MORE! After a quick bite to eat, the kids and I headed to the post office. It took all of me not to ask the postal worker if I could take her picture as proof that we were really sending off our packet! So, join us from 4...

From Our Family of Four to a Family of Five Through Faith. Monthly Archives: February 2013. February 28, 2013. Back on February 4th, we posted about the amazing blessing of a large financial gift we were given toward our adoption, and we asked that you be praying that God would lead us where He wants us. We are so thankful for your prayers and are excited to share what we feel the Lord has led us to do! After MUCH prayer and petition, we are heading to Ukraine! 🙂 We feel like this will be such a valuabl...

From Our Family of Four to a Family of Five Through Faith. Days 3 through 6. November 17, 2013. DAYS 3 and 4. We arrived at the Ministry about an hour before our appointment and S and our guide/translator in Kiev, E, took us to this little pizza place across the street. Catherine had a cheese pizza (seriously, the best pizza I’ve ever had! Andrew had a blintz (super flat pancake! He said that he didn’t worry about us and our contacts with our daughter because he knew we already had experience with young ...
