The Kirk Family's Adoption in the Ukraine

My friend Michelle from Dallas is currently with her family in Kiev, Ukraine adopting a 16-year old girl named Maria.  While in Kiev, they found out about two older children named Vlad and Olga who's adoption just fell through because the adopting family didn't pass their homestudy. If you know of anyone interested in adopting older children please pass their story along.

Konstantin called me tonight asking for some help.  When he sent me Maria’s picture he also sent me pictures of two other children in need of adoption, Olga and Vlad.  They are older as well.  A couple was going to adopt them but were not recommended during the home-study.  So now these two children who thought they would be adopted are back to being orphans.  We will all be meeting them tomorrow night when we go to see Maria again.  If you know anyone, or know of someone who knows someone who might be interested in adopting two older children please forward this to them and have them make contact with me.  Vlad turns 16 in about three weeks and after this it will be too late for them to have an American family.  It is really not as expensive to adopt as most people think and just takes some time and energy.
