A Virginia Couple Opened Their Home to 5 Ukrainian Orphans | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A Virginia couple has opened their home and their hearts to 5 Ukrainian orphans who join the couple's 10 other children. Vicki and Ed Greenan say their brood of 15 has "given them purpose." They have 4 biological children and 6 adopted children with special needs. Nearly 3 years ago, their family grew again, first with 3 disabled Ukrainian orphans in 2020 and then an additional 2 in 2021. They say they scraped pennies to make the adoptions happen and "left the rest to God." Vicki Greenan joins to talk about this decision to welcome so many and also to start all over again as there is an gap between her older children and the ones they adopted from Ukraine. Greenan shares how she manages the disabilities of several of her children and what every day life looks like for her. Greenan discusses the status of the orphanage today as they adopted the kids from an orphanage in Ukraine during a very dangerous and dark time in the country's history. Greenan responds to people's remarks saying "she's got the corner market on parenthood" or "she's a saint." She explains how she sees the hand of God in all of this. Greenan fills us in on her message to those who look at her story and compare themselves or think they could never do that.
