Sweet baby girl Evan is coming home!! Shouts of praise to Almighty God echo around the world…. the exact same Judge who just two weeks ago said, Kirill could NOT come home because he is “not socially adaptable” due to his “medical condition” {having Down Syndrome} and that he is better off in an institution…
