redemption. [UPDATED again!] [and again!!]

one of my friends, tracie, [who is a great resource if you're interested in domestic adoption]

posted about a family very dear to their hearts 

& as i read about their journey, i was overcome with love that you feel when

you see people walking out their life calling & obeying with such grace.

really.  it's beautiful.

they are answering the call by preparing to travel SOON

to bring home their 4th child from Ukraine which will make them a family of 11.

  it really is a matter of life or death for these children whose next stop is a mental institution.

her blog post here about their son's ransom is hard to read in parts, but you 

know what?  these children have to actually live it.  it is heart-breaking.

so, the beauty about adoption ransoms is that many can answer the call to

care for the fatherless by contributing to adopting families.  i've seen the

sheer gorgeousness of everyone's little adding up to be much.

it adds up to a life.  a life redeemed.

they are so close. 

if 69 more people give $25, they will be there.

or

if 172 people give $10, they will be there.

do you have $10 or $25 of excess that you could give?

do you have $10 or $25 that you could sacrificially give?

if you'd like to be part of Ethan's redemption,
