Today, meet another family who has stepped out in faith - the Doloski's!
And remember when I posted about this sweet boy??
Well that's who they are getting! :)
PATRICK for the Doloski family — Seneca, IL
Michael and Jennifer have been married for 16 years and have been blessed with three amazing children. Their daughters are 14 and 11, and their son is 5. Last summer, long before the couple had decided to adopt, someone asked their little guy if he had any brothers. They were a bit taken aback when he said, “Not yet!” It was sometime later when he announced that he wanted a brother and made this request, “And when you do get me a brother, make sure he can talk to me.” Clearly, their son wasn’t dreaming of a newborn sibling! It was in 2009, when friends of the couple traveled to China to bring home their four-year-old daughter, that Jennifer became aware of this world’s orphan crisis. (It was also at this time that she developed an incurable addiction to adoption blogs!) She would share stories with Michael and the children regularly. She stumbled on Reece’s Rainbow when one blog she was reading included a donation button for two little girls with Down Syndrome. They have prayed for many families and supported some financially as they have been able. Through all of this, inspired by other families’ testimonies, they began to ask what God’s will was for their family when it came to caring for orphans. In May the couple agreed that it was time to start their own adoption journey, and in July, thanks to another Reece’s Rainbow family’s blog, they learned of Patrick. They had not planned on bringing home an older brother for their son, but Patrick’s story touched their hearts and inspired them to action. They know they are in a race to get their little boy home as quickly as possible to avoid his transfer from his “baby house” and to get him the medical attention that might help him one day walk. Your prayers are requested, and any donations are gratefully accepted.

I finally got over here to read this - couldn't figure out why I couldn't find it on your "stitching blog" - takes me a few minutes sometimes. . . Thank you so much for sharing our story!
