Hi! My name is Michele Antonuk, for those that don’t know me and as one of the trio; I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and my family and let you know how I got involved in this amazing journey.
My husband and I adopted our son Jack from Ulaanbaatar Mongolia in September of 2006 at the age of 2. He is the absolute joy and love of our lives! Stacy and I became friends via a Yahoo group we both belong to for Mongolian adoptions. While we were in the waiting stages of our second adoptions we formed a great friendship between emails and phone calls. Seth is home now while my family continues to wait for our second child to be revealed to us.
We received the email that many of you did from Stacy seeking sponsors for Christmas presents. I jumped at the chance to bless the kids and signed up for 2 boys. November 4th I emailed Stacy to see how she wanted the things shipped to her. At that time she emailed back and said “It looks like I will be taking all of the stuff to all 3 orphanages”. Tears came to my eyes and an overwhelming feeling that said “you are going too”. I emailed her back, saying that I have no idea what my husband is going to say, I have no idea what I am going to do with Jack (I am a stay at home mom and my husband Jeff travels with his job) I have no idea how much a ticket costs, but other than that- sign me up! This is totally unlike me, I do not do things like this, I am the one who likes to write a check and send someone else. November 6th I booked my ticket.
God has cleared the way for me and I am obeying him and trusting him and GOING TO MONGOLIA- IN DECEMBER! I am very excited to be a part of this incredible trip; I know that God is going to do amazing things. Even though we are a party of 3 traveling, we bring an army with us.
Michele

praying for all of you as you prepare to go. we love love love Jack so much. Can't imagine his all alone and without the love he gets from his forever family. He has blessed so many through your obedience to Gods call to love those that others have forgotten.
