Praying for Kirill and the Davis family!
/
Update: The Supreme Court reversed the decision, effective immediately, and Kirill is now Gregory Kirill Davis. See the exciting update HERE!
A couple months ago I wrote about Kirll, a sweet boy in Russia who is awaiting adoption and who has Down syndrome, and the Davis family, a Christian couple from Alabama who wants to adopt them. Because of his disability, the judge in his province said no. Here's that original post.
Today - right now, actually! - Tesney and Gary are before the Supreme Court in Russia, hoping that a different decision will be made and that Kirill - who they already consider to be part of their family - can come home.
This could have implications for how people around the world view the value of children with Down syndrome and other disabilities, children who were fearfully and wonderfully made, knit together in their mother's wombs, and formed by God and in God's image. I'll be posting more in the coming weeks about the abortion and adoption of children with special needs, but for now I'll leave you with this exhortation:
Pray.
