Four Little Latvian Boys

A couple that I served with in Latvia recently informed me that one of the young mothers in a Latvian branch has had her children taken away from her, her husband is in jail and she is living in a safehouse with her fifth son.

Her four other boys (ranging ages 1 to about 6 years) are together in an orphanage. The young mother would asked this couple if they knew anyone who would adopt the boys so they could stay together.

I just thought I would put this out there in the odd chance that anyone would happen to know anyone who is looking to adopt four young boys. It's a stretch by any account and adopting from Latvia is no easy process, so I won't be surprised if I don't get any responses. However, I thought I would at least put the word out.

  2. That's heart breaking. I hope they find someone to take the boys.

  3. Hi, I am a friend of Brit's. She sent me a link to this because I have many friends who are looking to adopt, so I posted the link on facebook and got a response from a woman who's friend might be interested in this opportunity. She's asking about a phone number and more information... could I have her email or call you for further details? If so, I would need that contact information. My friend's name is Treisha Peterson. You can email me directly with your info at megan.thomas814@gmail.com.
    Thanks! I hope this actually goes somewhere so that these little boys can have a home together! :)
