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!!!!

Tanya, Zenon and I are excited to walk along this journey with you. Our adoption is still so fresh (we've been back for just 2 1/2 weeks!). We will pray for you as you travel, that the Lord gives you wisdom at the SDA, and that He provides the guidance you will need for this adventure. We will pray that Vanessa does well on the trip. Enjoy all the moments, take a gazillion pictures, and continue to trust the Lord. May his Blessings go before, beside, and behind you.

Hi Tanya,

mom said you made it there fine, but connection was bad, so she didn't talk to you much. Cant wait to hear about your impression about Ukraine, how things are going and hopefully to see some pics along the way.

Kiss Vannessika for me and say hello to Serge.

You are in my prayers.
