In Ukraine, there are a lot more boys available than there are girls. Yuri told us that for every 1 female orphane, there are 9 male orphanes. Well, we want a female under the age of 36 months. From the beginning, Ashton has also asked for a "sissy" as he refers to his new sibling. After church today, we were at McDonald's and talking to Ashton about our having to return to Ukraine. I told him that God may not have a sissy for him but may instead have a brother. When asked how he would feel about that, he replied, "It would break my heart." We were in awe at the comment from a newly-turned 3 year old.
We are sincerely praying that God will bless our family with a little girl. While we were in Ukraine, the boys were consistently pushed at us and the age range was increased. God tells us to pray specifically and to ask for the desires of our heart, therefore we are praying for a healthy little girl under 36 months. I certainly don't want Ashton's heart broken!
