More Details
10:51 PM
Here are some more details I can give you regarding Davids' adoptive family...
This family is ALREADY in process to adopt from Latvia!
They ALREADY have all the required paperwork DONE and their dossier is ALREADY filed in Latvia.
They are adopting a small-for-his-age soon-to-be 16 year old boy - sound familiar??? - and are preparing travel for his adoption.
They are adopting ONE child... but are ALREADY approved to adopt TWO! Happily ready to add Davids to the mix and adopt BOTH at ONCE.
Davids will join his soon-to-be brother Peters (notice anything similar about their first names in relation to our American names)!
Now if all those AMAZING hits you've generated on the sidebar of my blog would result in even just $5 per person... THIS amazing family would have their MOUNTAIN moved to bring Davids HOME! DONATE HERE Be sure to write DAVIDS in the comments!

About Me
I am a single mom to four amazing kids; each of whom just happen to have been adopted. The first three were adopted through foster care, and we just completed an international adoption from Haiti. Our family has grown through adoption and I am all the more blessed to know each of my children. I worship a mighty God, teach Special Ed, love bargains, and am inspired by Pinterest... come along with us for the ride!

What you should know about HIV
-HIV can NOT be spread through casual/household contact. HIV is not spread through hugging, kissing, shaking hands, sharing toys, sneezing, coughing, sharing food, sharing drinks, bathing, swimming or any other casual way. It has been proven that HIV and AIDS can only be spread through sexual contact, birth, breastfeeding and blood to blood contact (such as sharing needles).
- HIV is now considered a chronic but manageable disease. With treatment, people who are HIV+ can live indefinitely without developing AIDS and can live long and full lives.
- People who are HIV+ deserve to be treated with love, respect, support and acceptance as all people do.
Additional information on transmission of HIV can be found on the Center for Disease Control website: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources

Little Did I Know
Little did I know that the road would be so rocky
Little did I know that the trip would take so long
Little did I know that my heart could hurt so much
Little did I know that God is never wrong
Little did I know that love could be so powerful
Little did I know that a dream so far could go
Little did I know that God would place the right ones
Little did I know that my heart, so large, could grow
Little did I know that a dream has it’s own timing
Little did I know that this day would finally come
Little did I know that four souls would be sent to guide me
Little did I know that they would choose to call me mom
But God knew all along and He had a plan to follow
God knew all along that my dream would soon come true
God knew all along that we five should be together
God knew all along that I’d share it all with you
Little did I know that the road would be so rocky
Little did I know that the trip would take so long
Little did I know that my heart could hurt so much
Little did I know that God is never wrong
Little did I know that love could be so powerful

Little did I know that God would place the right ones

Wow, great news! So glad to hear this. Are you on twitter? Would love to tweet your blog entries.
I am just in AWE.
And sooooo relieved.
Unbelievable! Our God is so amazing! Our family is going to donate right now to help them get Davids home. My husband and I and even our children have cried more than once for Davids to be saved over the past few days. What a blessing!
I'm so happy to read these updates!!!!! I was sick with worry reading the messages come through on some other groups I belong to and my heart dropped when I realized he was the same boy that you hosted! (I have a friend that is married to a Latvian man.. all of the male names end in S... it's interesting huh?)
Hi there! I've shared the donate link on my blog and I'm still praying. I left a donation. Wish I could have left more. I am not sure how Latvia works. Does this family have only until they submit paperwork to get the funds or do they have a little longer? Thanks for advocating!
How wonderful that Davids will have a new brother as well!!!
I already donated, but am also wondering how long they have to collect the funds? Is it the whole 180 days after the have committed to adopting him or is it by his birthday??
wow....we have been following his story for the past few days and are soooooooooo excited!! the Lord has certainly done a miracle!!! we adopted our son from russia and he has been praying for davids too. thanks for the updates!!!!!
Donated! Thanks so much for advocating for him!
Praying him HOME!

Praising Jesus! I've prayed for Davids and his adoptive family!!! My heart is rejoicing right now! YAY!!!!
Total lurker here, but I love your blog. I am so happy that Davids has a committed family! I just donated to his adoption- wish it could have been more. Thanks for all that you did for him, as well. God sees :)
