Got our certified letters

We got our Certified Letters in the mail August 24th, and Sergey's was not a correct format, it was not certified. So Yesterday, Sergey spend his morning on the phone with Department of Justice, and today we got the correct copy of his Certified letter. One thing off our list to do :))

Also our medicals are at doctors office, Sergey put in request for employment verification, our Realtor working on house letter, USCIS has our home study and everything looks like under control :)))

God is good. And thank you for all your prayers, we feel them. :)

submission date!

We have our submission date, and are very excited.  Now, that we are getting closer to meet our child/ren, satan is attacking more, and we are Praising our God. If satan is trying to get in the way, it means we are doing Gods thing and satan doesnt' like it.

I will not post our submission date here for now, but I will tell you it's soon, and I really hope that we will be able to get all our paperwork ready by that date. I haven't hear anything from USCIS yet, and this is main document we need in order to be submitted.

Please pray with us, we need your prayers about all the documents and process.

Will think twice...

I wish all people would first think about other people, then money. Unfortunately for some people money is more important then little children life, and their happiness.

Until we bring our kid/kids home, I will not share a lot of personal information. Also I will not talk/write about child/ren that we want to adopt, or planning to adopt. For now, what child God has in His plan for us we have no idea, only God knows. We can think, we can plan but God has His own plan.


***After  receiving few comments(i will not post them now), I am making this decision to think twice before sharing info on here. And I wish people would know all the details before commenting.

Home study in Ukraine..

Today I received an e-mail from our facilitator "V". Our home study is in his hands, and ready to be register with SDA.

His question was if we know when we will have our USCIS Approval, and I have no idea. If everything will go as last time, we should have it with next 4-5 weeks.
"V" will register us and ask to have a  submition date probably late September, just to be sure that we will have all our documents. If we would send our home study to USCIS when we received it, we would probably have done our fingerprints, and in next 2-3 weeks would have our approval. Oh well..... I am getting over it.. :)))

God has a plan....

Everyone who is praying for us, girls, our adoption, thank you so much!

God Bless you

Thinking about girls.

Today I am thinking a lot about girls. Today is their birthdays, both girls were born on the same day, different years. I really wish to be there with them, and tell them Happy Birthday.

Facilitator "A" acting very "interesting", and I really hope that everything will go smooth in Ukraine.

We are praying a lot about girls, and our adoption process and we know that only God knows if "sisters" are ours. I wish I can just jump on the plane, go to Ukraine, and bring them home, but.....

Please pray for girls, and our adoption process.
Thank you. God Bless you

USCIS approval delay

Remember, almost two weeks ago we received our home study, and I was in Oregon at that time visiting my parents.
So, when my husband(he had to stay home and go to work every day )  told me that we got home study in the mail, I was very exited. First thing that cross my mind was "I should e-mail our home study agency to make sure they send our home study to USCIS", since we are needed only home study to be invited for finger prints, and get our approval". But I assumed that our agency did it, because they did it last time, during our first adoption. After coming home to California, I was keep thinking to e-mail our agency, and I never did. I was busy with school starting, and other things around the house.  Also I was waiting for letter from USCIS to get fingerprinted.

So, today, almost two weeks later I found out that we, ourselves have to mail our home study to USCIS office. We lost almost two weeks of doing nothing. I am very disappointed but trying to look at the brighter side of this little delay. God is in control, and he has perfect timing for everything. I remember our last adoption, and we had a lot of bumps here in USA with our paperwork. Only later we found out that only one day before our appointment with SDA, our son's case become available for adoption, and we were the first family who they showed Daniel's file. If everything would go smooth, and there would be no delays during our first adoption we would never meet Daniel.

I can say for now God is amazing God, and everything happens for a reason.

Our home study in the mail to USCIS  (hoping we will get invitation for fingerprints soon). Please pray with us!

First day of school!

Yesterday was first day of school for Daniel, and I can't believe it he is already in 4th grade. My boy is growing way to fast.

He was very exited to go to school. After school he came home and couldn't stop talking :) friends, school, teacher, lunch, homework, class, etc... even now, I have very exited little boy. :)

I still have to talk to his teacher about Daniel's background, and some other little things. Also I will mention our trip to Ukraine, because most likely we will travel all together, and Daniel will miss a lot of school. Our trip will be  hard, but fun :)

Home study

I was not blogging for some time, because I was out of town. Me and kids had a little road trip to Oregon to visit my parents. I will post more on that when I have more time.

We got our home study this week :))), and are planning to mail our home study and Power of Attorney to Ukraine tomorrow if we get done with notary, and apostile. Very exited about that, and can't wait to get our submission date  :))) ready to travel and bring our kids home.

More to come....
