Here are SOME of the items in the auction!










Mission to Ukraine, Israel & Egypt! Anyone ready to serve and go walk where Jesus walked? If so come take a peek, you could join us!

Anyone interested in serving with orphans with me and a team in Ukraine and then heading to the land Jesus has once walked, Israel then on to Egypt? I had Been praying for over a week that if God wanted this trip He would make a way and to find out today a dear friend of mine is leading a team to do exactly this. Oh my how God works! I love it!

Here is the scoop on the trip. The trip is planned for 14 days in October 2016. It entails flying into Ukraine, visiting Lyviv and touring the city. Then heading up to the Carpathian mountains to see some of God's most beautiful land. There and in Lyviv and in the Carpathian mountains we will serve with orphans and be with them and even camp out with them. Then off to Israel and Egypt we go. We will visit the dead sea, the wailing wall, Jerusalem, Bethlehem and more.

The cost for the entire trip is approx. $1575.00 per person everything included accept your flight to and from Ukraine. That will be an additional fee and the team can help with that or I can even refer you to who I use to fly.

If anyone would be interested in joining us please let us know and I can get you into the group and get you connected with the leaders leading the team that I know, love and trust and that is why I am going.

ON A SIDE NOTE: If you just want to serve just in Ukraine you can do just that for 7 days. OR if you just want to go just to Israel and Egypt you can also just do that. So you can do the entire ball of wax like I will do or pick one of the two trips which of course will cost less. Again I can get you in touch with the team for more details.

God bless! Nicole

AGING OUT TEEN!!! PLEASE HELP PUSH AND SPREAD THE WORD TO HELP FIND HIS FOREVER FAMILY!

AGING OUT TEEN! Folks this is a young man I have been waiting almost 2 years to become legally free that went to school with one of my sons. By the grace of God it just happened!!!! "S" has reached out to myself and my friend who was just adopting in region asking for us to help him find a family. He is so ready. He has been ready but his legal status needed to change. The day has come to now time to help PUSH him. "S" is 15 years old and is HIV positive so as folks know his future is not good without the support of family. With "S" having the status of HIV and it is known at his boarding school so as a result he is bullied pretty regularly. "S' is on the shy side and will be held back and will just watch and wait for your invite to come in and join you which he will do with a big ol'e smile on his face and with an almost run to you, to be able to be part of what you are doing or the invite. He is not a space invader and all up in your grill. This last trip I made sure to always look for him and plant a hug on him and you could just see his openness to accept it and give back so we would both keep an eye out for one another to make sure to hug, smile and exchange some words. He has a smile that will light up the darkest of rooms. He loves to play soccer, basketball, volleyball and ping pong. He played on the boarding schools soccer team. He is very creative and likes to make something out of nothing. He loves to draw. He likes to take care of plants and flowers on the school property. He is a very good student and respectful to the teachers. He is not one to look for trouble but to avoid it.

If you have any questions please let me know. Please if you can help me push "S" and get him out there in order to help find his forever family it would be to gratefully appreciated. 

AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY HAS COME UP WHERE HE IS AVAILABLE FOR HOSTING!  IF YOU ARE INTERESTED PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I CAN DIRECT YOU TO THE HOSTING PROGRAM.  :)

AGING OUT TEENS IN NEED OF A FAMILY ASAP THAT WE KNOW!!! PLEASE HELP!

PLEASE FOLKS HELP ME PUSH ANOTHER AGING OUT TEEN WE KNOW! 

This is Ryon, he is 15 years old and has VERY little time. I am talking little time! 9/30 someone needs to have their i600A in on him to prevent him from aging out. I have known him over a year and 3 of my children grew up with him. When adopting 3 of my children last year he was with us daily and loved playing soccer with my Kolya. He loves soccer very much and played competitive soccer with our son Kristjan. He loves also to play ping pong.

He is very shy and soft spoken and kind. He in not all up in your face and looking for all the attention, he is the polar opposite. He waits to be asked to join in. He is a very good young man and never caused trouble in school, and did as asked by the staff. He does not smoke, drink or follow the crowd. He avoids the crowds of kids doing wrong and avoids trouble. Now that I am in Ukraine and with him daily he has made it very clear he wants a family. I have been watching him and when he does not know I am looking. He sees the needs of people or things that needs to be done and he moves. For instance. All the kids ate sunflower seeds. Made a massive mess. All the kids left their mess behind them. Ryon stepped up and grabbed the broom and started cleaning the shells up. I have never in over a year seen him raise his voice at any authoritative figure or refuse to do what is asked of him. He never was a big hugger but now I am greeted with a smile and big hug. He has the hope of a forever family. He said he hopes for a large family. He is not picky but he would enjoy lots of brothers and sisters. Not a normal request when I talk to kids! Ryon wants to help contribute to a family and have someone to just plan love him and cheer-lead him. He wants an affectionate mother and father as he has never had that and to invest in his life. The boy has a crooked smile that can light up a dark room. He is not a charming young man to manipulate people but charming as his heart is sensitive as he holds to hopes of a better future then he knows he has now. His very real and knows what he is up against alone.

For a man of few words I was very proud of him about 3 weeks before coming to Ukraine for our boys he reached out to me via internet and asked for help to find a family. This is HUGE for Ryon.
PS I have many more photos of Ryon as well to share.

PLEASE HELP ME PUSH RYON TO HIS FOREVER FAMILY WHILE HE STILL HAS TIME!!










AGING OUT TEEN November 22nd, Samuel! He is 15 years old. Need your help folks to push this young man. He is quiet and reserved and he has been brave enough to reach out to me to ask for help to find him a forever family as he is shy. I have known him over a year and he is very close to my children. He is my daughters best friend. He is very friendly, kind, courteous. If you ask for help he will be there to lend a hand. I recall when he had an opportunity to sneak out to go visit his Aunt as he so wanted to see her and I told him along with our facilitator not to do it, it was not worth the cost or repercussion should he get caught. The next day I arrived at the school and he came and told me he listened to us and did not go but he stayed at the school although it hurt him not to leave and go see her. I am with him now daily at camp while adopting my children. Many of the kids are making fun of him because he wants a family so badly. They are teasing him and coming down hard on him. He is trying to avoid the pressures and is working off campus to earn money and stay away from the pressures. He longs for a family so badly. You see it in his actions and eyes. When he sees me you can see he is losing hope of what can be. He is not picky on what kind or size family he has. He wants to belong and be loved and help as asked. I have never seen him like Ryon the other boy I am advocating for talk back to their teachers or show them disrespect. He always greets me with a smile and hug.

He likes to play soccer for fun and ride a bike. I would not refer to him as a total sports nut. As he is on the calmer side but he does enjoy them. Samuel is on the school soccer team as well.
He is always near us not saying a lot but always having a gentle humble smile. His smile and face always for over a year has reflected the desire of family. It is clear as day but he just needed to to say something. Well folks HE IS! He is boldly telling me to help him find him a family before it it too late for him.

Even when Kristjan and Angelica were writing they wanted me to adopt them last year, Samuel was right there as you will see photo'd behind Angelica, they are best friends and he has hoped all along for this opportunity as well for a family to say "I pick you".

PS I have many other photos of him as well.
PLEASE FOLKS HELP ME PUSH SAMUEL HOME AS HE IS 15 AND DOES NOT HAVE MUCH TIME!!!! HE HAS BEEN BRAVE TO SPEAK UP AND HAVE A VOICE!

9 DAYS!!!! 9 DAYS UNTIL BLAST OFF FOR THE BOYS!

Folks we are in the home stretch.  I leave in 9 days for Ukraine.  We are still in need of $17,640.00 on funds to be fully funded to bring the boys home but by golly the amount is chipping away are my dear friend Darla would say.  And the question is will I be on that plane even if the money does not come in.  YES.  A big fat YES!  All our children are adopted from Ukraine and we were not funded on all their adoptions when we had our SDA date.  We still went in faith God would meet the need and he did to every dollar and not a dollar more or less. We trust God will do this again and trust He will as we know without any doubt he lead us to these boys we have loved and adored for over a year.  

Meet the amazing boys we are moving God speed to return to!

Meet Daniel and "Banana", Bo!
