About Me
- greta
- We are a family of four, ready to be a family of FIVE! God called us to this great adventure in the beginning of 2006. Throughout the past three years, God has been glorified throughout this entire adoption process! He gets all the credit in everything from providing the expenses to this costly adoption... all the way to leading us to the specific girl, SELAH, He has waiting for us in a country that HE specifically appointed us to go to. His ways are better than our ways! I have never experienced God more than through this process!!! I have learned that if I leave my comfort zone to do what He has asked, then all that will come is "abundant life". And sometimes the "abundant life" comes with major struggles. We would have not planned for it to go the way it has, but there have been treasures along the way, that we wouldn't have wanted to miss! We have many blessings that have come from this adventure and we aren't even done yet!!!! We hope that you will follow us in this journey towards bringing our daughter, Selah, home from Kazakhstan.

I am so sorry for your family. All I know to do is pray that with time God will give you peace and understanding to deal with this heartbreak.
I am so sorry. My heart just sank. Chuck and I were praying this morning for you guys.
I am so so so sorry. Words can't even express.
I am so so sorry my friend... My heart is grieving with you. Please remember that the Lord will never leave you or Forsake you. Even though it FEELS as if He has, He promises that He never will. Only He can make sense in all of this, and I will continue to pray that He will bring it all to light, and work miracles. I will hope for you, while you have no hope left. Hope in the Lord, He alone is the only one you can depend on. I love you friend...Jenn
I am just so heartbroken for you and all you have had to endure. Got Allyson's email and praying.....wish I knew what to say or do, but know you are being held in prayer by those that love you.

My heart is hurting, we are so sorry for this turn. I'm not sure what to say. We love you guys.
Greta, I have way too much to say to leave as a comment. I'm going to email you.
I am so sorry Greta, I don't know what else to say.
Greta, I am at a loss as to what to say. I know there are no words that can comfort you right now but please know that we will not stop praying for you. I am so incredibly sad for your family and I am sorry you had to endure this but Jenn is right, only God knows why and he will not leave you during this time in your lives. We all love you!

"But I confess my sins;
I am deeply sorry for what I have done.
I have many aggressive enemies;
they hate me without reason.
They repay me evil for good.
Do not abandon me, O Lord!
Do not stand at a distance, my God!
Come quickly to help me, O Lord, my savior."
Psalm 38:18-22
Love you, sis and bro.
I am so sorry. You all are in our thoughts.
Greta,
I am so so sorry. Our world is SO full of sin and it is exhausting. I've been ready for Jesus to come back any day now for awhile and this is just another "Come Lord Jesus" moment for me. I will be praying for you and your family and this precious little girl who God has NOT forgotten, despite how things may seem now. Please rest as you travel home and feel no obligation to explain anything to us soon or at all. I do believe at some point it may make more sense why God allowed you to go through this, but probably now is not the time to even seek that but instead to simply receive the ways He will want to serve you now.

I love you. I am heart broken about Selah. You know I am praying. I love you both and am here if you need me (anytime) no questions asked. Love Ive
I'm at a loss for words. I am so sorry and we'll continue to pray for your family.
Love, Carolyn
Oh my goodness, my hearts is breaking for you guys! Just know that we love you and are praying for peace!
Love, Brad & Stacy
I have cried along with you. Selah will always be a part of mine and Emme's adoption story. I can still remember the look one your face the first time you held Selah. She will always be your daughter. Words cannot express how much I know you are hurting. I want you to know you have hundreds of people in Ohio who are grieving with you and praying for all of you.
Greta- I'm so sorry! I was praying for you and your family that Selah would come home. GOD always has a plan even if we don't understand it right now. Know that I'm always here for you if you ever need anything. For now I will just pray for your strength to pull through these hard times and wish you very safe travels back.

My heart is breaking for you guys! We are praying for you thought this devastating turn of events.
I am so sorry. I'm not sure what to say. I'm just so sorry.

We are praying for you.. I am a friend of Stacy Matiyow. We adopted our son from Kazakhstan, a year ago. Our prayers are with you. nothing is more frustrating than dealing with a corrupt system. Thank goodness we are not alone anywhere and all things work together for the good of those that Love God. You will always love Selah, now you can continue to pray for her for the rest of your life.. Your prayers will be heard.

My heart goes out to you and am lifting you up in prayer...
Greta,
I have tears in my eyes for you. I am so sorry, this is something that is beyond our comprehension. God hasn't forsaken you, Jenn said it so well.
I wrote a song years ago, and when I read the comments, I thought of the first few lines:
"Lay before Him all your cares
Take them to Him in your prayers
He suffers with you in your pain
Before you even call His name."
I love you.
Teresa
