Victoria

5 years old.

She's not even 5 years old.

But she already has a need greater than any of us.

Not a medical need, specifically. While she has medical concerns, even those are not the greatest issue.

This princess, this little girl, this precious child of God...she needs a Mama.

And not just any Mama...

HER MAMA.

Someone devoted to her. Who loves her, no matter what, for forever and for good. Someone all for her.

I can picture her life here in America. I can picture the "after".
I can picture Victoria, home.

...

A little girl in a Little Mermaid nightgown bounces on her knees as her Mama turns out the lights. The braids in her hair have loosened throughout the day's play, but the smile still radiates from her little round face.

Her Mama walks over to the Hello Kitty bedspread and gives her daughter a kiss, right in the middle of her forehead. As she tucks her daughter's little legs under the covers, she whispers a prayer in her ear, thanking God for the joy this child has brought to the world.

A pastel nightlight glows warmly in the corner, and as the room quiets down, and this little girl's eyelids become heavier and heavier, her Mama's voice lulls her to sleep with the same lullaby sung over cradles and toddler beds for generations.

"Victoria" is safe. Loved. Cherished. Treasured. Protected. Adored.

HOME.

Unlocking Lyubov

Welcome to Unlocking Lyubov page!  I'm Kaitlyn and my passion country is Ukraine.  And you might be a little puzzled by the name of my project, but lyubov means love in Ukrainian.  In English the name is Unlocking Love.   I absolutely love the name of my project, because I feel it describes my mission perfectly!  I want to unlock love for the orphans in Ukraine, also known as "Ukraine's forgotten children".
I have advocated for several orphans in this country, though I cannot say whom for privacy purposes.

My heart is lost somewhere in Ukraine with the many beautiful children.   There is just something about those kids that makes me melt.  I love and adore everything about them and would one day love to take a missions trip there if it's God's will.   They are precious little gems in my eyes that God has put on my heart and in my life for a special reason, I believe.   I see their full potential and have a desire to help bless them in any way I am able to.

I am still putting together details for my Unlocking Lyubov project, but I'll have everything up ASAP.

So I hope that you will please check back soon and take this journey with me. :)

I will share with you a little about Asher's new family, and then feel free to enter the giveaway! :)  Thank you, for being such wonderful followers!  We love you all!

"Jon and Carly Duvall have been married for 9 years, and have three wonderful children ages 7, 6, and 5. They met at the small Christian school they both attended and got married after 4 years of dating. They live in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where they were both born and raised.

The Duvall’s talked about their desire to adopt early on in their marriage, but ended up having three children very close together and were caught up in the busyness of raising a young family. As their children have grown, God has been bringing the call to adopt to the forefront. They did not set out to adopt a child with special needs, but God had a different plan. When they found Asher (Jimmy), they knew he was their son and it began to make perfect sense. Carly had lost a younger sister who had Down syndrome and died from a hole in her heart. God was completing His perfect plan!

Jon, Carly, and family are so excited to bring Asher home and give him the love and family he deserves. They are trusting in God’s provision in the financial aspect of this process and would be so grateful for any support as well as prayers. "
