Hello from Ukraine

I just want to say thank you to all of you out there, who is praying for us, and our situation. We are still in Kiev, and still not sure what we will do. Probably will return home, and wait till our kids become available in few month.

We do have peace about this whole situation, and not disappointed at all. I would love to know what was the reason for us to fly all the way to Ukraine now? Only God knows everything, I just wish to know. :)

Kids are doing great, we all had food poison but doing much better now.  We been sick almost all week, so kids are still weak, and we haven't go anywhere yet. Sergey is doing all the shopping and other necessary things.  It's very cold here, but we have a nice place to stay, and very warm(we even have our window open, it's way too hot).

I am not sharing all the details what is going on with our case. But please pray that  God will take care of everything, and give us wisdom to make right choices.

 Boys with Grandpa :)

 Some winter fun! Boys will miss all the snow when we return back to US

God Bless you

Today-SDA Appointment

Today we had our SDA appointment. It was not successful. Kids we were hoping to adopt are not eligible for adoption, and there is some issues with paperwork. We have two options: come back home and wait when kids become available and come back to Ukraine to finish adoption. Or go to another appointment and try to find different child. We are still not sure what to do. For now we are praying and waiting for some feed back from SDA .

We are good, kids are fine. Baby was vomiting last night, and today, also she has diarrhea, but after a prayer she is much better now. Boy are find, and were in Ukrainian time the first day/night.
We were supposed to be in Ukraine Sunday at 1pm, but do weather issues our flight had to return back to Frankfurt, after almost touching the ground. It was interesting experience, but we do appreciated Lufthansa to offer us a hotel and take care of our family for their expenses. We had a good night at Frankfurt, good food, and kids were well rested. More details to come, baby fusing.

Less than 1 day

We had a very busy week, preparing for our trip to Ukraine. We had a lot of ups and downs, but looks like it everything working out and we are truly blessed by our God.

In Kiev we have a place to stay (friends of friends), and Sergey's dad will come to airport to pick us up.

I was trying to pack light , and take less stuff as possible with 3 kids on board, and I think I did a good job :) only 3 suitcases, and 3 carry-ones.

Boys are very excited, and ready to go.
Yesterday DJ, before going to sleep, came to me and while sitting on my lap, asked for a song(I am a horrible singer), but I think kids don't mind. After I was done "singing", DJ said " Mom, we are leaving Saturday early morning, and I like to sleep in on Saturdays, please, make sure you wake me up" Funny boy, :)))

DD, small Daniel, counting days until we leave, and crossing on the calender. He agreed that it's ok to leave his BOBBY at home. Bobby, this is a name of his stuffed dog. I have no idea, why Bobby, and I think DD was 2, 5 when he came up with this name. Now, DD, will not even go to bed with out his Bobby :))) I am still thinking, take it or not with us.

We are still not sure who we are adopting, but please keep praying that God move mountains. As soon as I can, I will share more information about our new kids. There is a huge possibility that we might have to move our appointment date with SDA for few days later, do to some paperwork. :( Please pray, it's all in Gods hands.

Christmas EVE

On New Year we did our own photo-shout.

New styles by ElliAna Rose lol

Christmas Cookies, after baking with kids, we did little plates of cookies, card, and took it to few neighbors

God Bless you!

9 more days

We are so excited , but there is many things that we do worry about it and praying.

We decided to take kids with us, we have no one to watch them here at US. I know it's not going to be easy, but we have no other choice.

Our kids deal bad with changes, so please pray about this. 
The most I worry about our Danik, he has some health issues,  I never talked about on here, and I will not go into details (maybe some other time). Please pray for our son, that travel and time changing will not cause any problems. 


Denny should be fine, he might get a little whinny but we will deal with it :))

Baby ElliAna, I have no idea, how she will react to all changes. I hope that as long as I am with her, she will be fine.

I am doing some packing already, making lists(what to buy, take, pack, do) before we leave to Ukraine.

We have one more prayer request, there is kids that desperately needs a family, but in order for us to adopt them  God has to do a huge miracle. Please pray!

Happy 4th Birthday Daniel D(Denny)!

I can't believe that my Denny is already 4 years old. Time flies so fast and sometimes I wish to get back to the moment when I touched, and hold Denny for the first time!

He is full of energy, funny, goofy, and loves his brother and sister.

Happy Birthday Denny! We love you!!!

Less than 2 weeks

We have less than 2 weeks before we leave to Ukraine and I still have so so many things to do.
Please pray for us,  for our family!'

Thank you

God Bless you

We have our appointment date :)

We have an appointment at SDA on January 24, 2012. We are excited and now I am worry to get everything done before we leave. We have less than 3 weeks to get tickets, get ready, pack and be ready to go to Ukraine to meet our child/ren.

Tomorrow we are planning to get tickets, and write down all lists, what needs to be done before we leave.

Now we have an extra bedroom because My brother, he use to live with us, moved out 2 days ago. This is one more project we are working on, painting extra bedroom. The plan is to move boys to this new looking bedroom before Ukraine. And the other bedroom will be waiting for our new child/ren.
