When I was little and my mom was looking to going back to work, our family friends, the McCurdys, chose to take babysit me while she was out. They joke that I am their third child, fitting perfectly in the gap between the two oldest girls and the three youngest. I loved being with them, playing with Arielle and Crystal and hiding from my mom when she came. When we got older we tried to make sure that my brother and their sister who was the same age married so that Arielle and I could be sisters.
Crystal is now married with three beautiful kids. Theirs is a household full of love, just like the home that I was fortunate to visit many times when I was little. Their family is about to grow again, as they are looking to welcome a little boy from Ukraine into their family. They are working on the adoption already, but they still have a long road ahead full of paperwork, excitement and worries, and planning. If you would like to follow their journey, visit "The Sponseller's Great Adventure." You can support the adoption financially by visiting Crystal's Etsy store, "The Great Adventure". Whether you visit the blog or buy one of Crystal's homemade soaps, please pray for them on this great adventure!
