Adoption update

Hi Everyone, this is Nadya Tanya's sister. I just spoke with her today and she asked me to put up this update since she still doesn't have access to the internet.

They already had few meetings with this two boys, two brothers Valera 8 and Ruslan 9. From the first time Tanya and Serge fall in love with them. They are very open to talk, like hugs and kisses although they do get shy, they are so ready to be loved, but not only that....

Last time when Tanya, Serge and Vanessa went to visit them in their room, Valera ran towards them, took Tanya by hand and stood there all excited. Ruslan seemed to be very happy, but as soon as he saw them he ran away, which did look little strange to Tanya, but he didn't keep her puzzled for long. A minute later he came out steped towards Vanessa and gave her skirt. How sweet is that. They did put it on Vanessa did her little model show...

Later care giver explaned, he got up early in morning came to her and said: " I need to find a skirt for little girl"

Little later caregiver came to the room and gave all boys in the room one candy (they do share room with many other boys) they all got very excited and started eating their candies. Valera came up to Vanessa and handed her the only candy he had. So this two boys not only know how to receive love, but also how to give. I think they all will make a wonderful family.

Keep them in your prayers, they will start their court paperwork tomorrow, also pray for their safety there and for safe return. As soon as she will get chance Tanya will post pictures of her new family members.

God bless all of you

Sorry for the delay, there aren't any hot spots around where we are at. This is the first chance I had to be able to get online. We had our SDA appt yesterday to see pictures of children available for adoption. After looking at several files of single and sibling groups, two boys caught our eye. They are brothers ages 8 and 9. They live in sinferopole(have no idea how to spell it, Natasha Makarenko it's the city you are from:) so we will be traveling there tonight. Please pray for us so that everything goes well !!!!!!! God Bless
Sorry I am unable to post pixs right now due to really bad internet connection.... it's taking way to long to just post one pix. Hopefully we will have better connection once we come to sinferopole.... We are taking lot of pixs!!!!!

We are finally leaving to Ukraine!!!

As most of you know we are leaving on Sunday to go to Ukraine to adopt, finally!!!!! It's been a tough journey already. It took us almost a year and half to finally get approved and have all the paper work needed to be able to adopt. We feel very blessed to be able to do this. We just want to ask all of friends and family to pray for us. We know this is just the beginning of hopefully a long and blessed journey. Please not only pray for us to come home with another child, but also pray for us to be the parents God calls us to be once we come back and for many more years ahead. We are 100% sure we can't do it without our Amazing Father.
We will try to keep you updated on what is going on in Ukraine. God Bless!!!!
