We met Sergeis at the summer farewell party for the kids returning to Latvia and Russia. He is from the same orphanage as Rebeka & Robbie so he hung around our family a lot that night since he knew them. He was very sweet to Robbie and not one of the "mean boys" that Rebeka always talks about. I started thinking that night that I would talk to Craig about hosting him at Christmas. After talking to him, he said he felt the same way so I emailed his summer host mom. She called me and we talked a lot about Sergeis and about Rebeka & Roberts. Everything she told me about Sergeis affirmed what we saw at the farewell party. He came bowling with our family and spent-the-night with us a couple of days before the kids left for Latvia. He was wonderful with our children. He was the peacemaker when someone was arguing. When Rebeka wanted to exclude Eileen from a soccer game, she got upset. Sergeis went to her and said, "You can play with me." (Then of course, Rebeka got jealous so Sergeis said, "We all play together!") He was very good playing with Merrick and Adalynn and the way he genuinely cared for Robbie was touching. We have decided to host him at Christmas. We would love your prayers and help in any way possible again. Everyone was so generous when we hosted Rebeka & Roberts and I know you will be again!
We will post any updates we can about Sergeis as we get them and know dates for his arrival, when our fees are due, etc.
Thank you in advance for your prayers and help!
