We need your prayers!

We got to see Vladik today. We had a meeting with the orphanage director, a woman from the Inspector's office,  and our translator. The director interviewed us for a while and seemed pleased with our answers. Then she called in Vladik. He came in with one of his teachers/caretakers. He did not smile much but did give us both hugs. When the director asked him if he wanted Keith and I to be his parents and go and live in America he said I don't know. When asked again in a few different ways he shrugged his shoulders and said I don't know again. All the while he did not smile and his teacher/caretaker sat right next to him and kept a hand on him. When Vladik was here over Christmas he told us, through a translator, that he wanted us to adopt him so we were incredibly surprised by what took place today! Now we will have to wait until Monday (we think) when someone from the Inspector's office can come back and the orphanage director will be there to ask him again. We will get to visit him a bit more tomorrow and hopefully Sunday too. Please pray that Vladik remembers the feeling he had while he was in America with us and remembers his strong desire to be adopted by us. After this meeting today we were allowed to hang out with Vladik for about an hour. He acted like his usual self (the Vladik we knew from his time in America with us) and we had so much fun. We love him so much and can not imagine our lives without him and what his life would look like without us. Please pray and ask anyone you know to pray for Vladik as well. We know this is a tough decision and it is a decision that will change the rest of his life but we know that deep down he wants to say yes but something is keeping him from doing it (fear, outside influence, who knows?!?!). Please pray that something will be removed and he will free to express how he truly feels about being adopted.
