Help Roma Join His Forever Family

“Faith isn’t the ability to believe long and far into the misty future. It’s simply taking God at His Word and taking the next step.” ~ Joni Eareckson Tada

The following is a post written by past Prairie Wife of the Week Sarah Larson

Roma needed hosted during the winter session as his 16th birthday was so near [this is the age when children age out of the program]. Roma had never been hosted and this winter was his last chance. With only 24 hours before hosting closed, we felt like we were his only hope, so we decided to open our house to him! We had no intention of adopting again (we just finalized adoption of our son Vitaliy in October) and made it our mission to try to find him a family. He came to us stating he didn’t think he wanted to be adopted because he has living family in Ukraine, and big dreams of becoming an auto mechanic.

Ryan and I loved the idea of mentoring, connecting and loving on this sweet boy without the pressure of adopting, and that is exactly what we did! He brought a light to our house with his genuine and kind soul. Roma is helpful and loves being involved in all of our family activities. After 2 weeks with us his heart was softening and in the final hours of hosting he asked to be adopted by Ryan and I.

It was hard to not feel like God hand-picked Roma to place in our family for a reason so here we are ready to complete our family…
