Pray!

We just received a new letter from Yulia (and Gena, although Yulia does the writing) that concerns us. Apparently their birth father (the one in prison for murdering their mother) has been calling and threatening them. He has found out about the adoption and has been calling from prison. Yulia says that he is due to be released in September and is saying that he will come and visit them. They are scared.

Please pray protection over Yulia and Gena, and over Michael (the director) and the orphanage. Pray that God will post angels all around to protect and defend them.

We have dispatched an email to Alexandra asking that she contact her legal sources in Russia to ascertain just how much of a risk this man is to the children. Obviously, we are frightened because we are so far away and cannot protect our children! Now, more than ever, we want to speed through the process of adopting. We have our home study materials and are working on them. We want to have the home study shortly after we return from Russia (April 21). Don't forget we are going to Russia April 7th.

I have posted Yulia's letter and Cyndy's response on the website (www.haworthfamily.net). Read them and join us in praying.

Thanks!

Glen and Cyndy
