I’m happy to report that Ezra and Kelly Reynolds are the proud new parents of two special-needs children from Ukraine: Andrew and Katerina.
As you may have read in my blog last week, it was quite a process, but they’ve reached the finish line. Here’s the cheery update from their blog:

“We are now the proud parents of Andrew Justice and Katerina Rose.
After a two hour court grilling, we have come out OK on the other side. All of our requests were granted.
1) That we would be allowed to adopt Katerina and Andrew 2) That we would be named as their parents 3) That their names would be changed (slight Anglicizations and middle names). 4) That the 10-day waiting period would be waived.
We will not know this side of eternity how many people were praying for us. We know that there was a network of hundreds(even thousands, if her English is right) of people praying for us in Ukraine and Russia, plus our friends and family back home.
Everything went smoothly. Thank you for your prayers and support.”
This is indeed exciting news. The details of this opportunity were truly unprecedented. All that is left is the paperwork and then they will be returning soon. David, we so much appreciate your sharing our good news with others.
