Day 9-with kids

We had a great morning with boys. By 5 pm we had to take them back to "Fathers House", and it take almost 2 hours to get there, so we had breakfast at home, Sergey went with boys out and got some food.

They were hungry  :)

 We made tea and stayed home for breakfast

Kids loved to stay on the balcony, there were some workers outside, kids watched them

Played with some toys

We went to eat lunch, o my, they have so much energy in the morning !

 Puzata Xata , kids room.

Kids had icecream

We took subway

Daniel and Stasik foster parents are super nice people Nazar and Natasha. They are young but they are doing such a great job of taking care of the kids. All total they have 6 kids, that live with them in same apartment, and it's like family type. They make their own food, they have their own budget, and rules. I will take more pictures, and will post more about boys home(for now).

We did had a nice chat with foster parents, and had tea. We left their place and headed home, because it was late.

We had a wonderful day!!!

Dossier on the way to Ukraine!

Yesterday we mailed our dossier to Ukraine, and if everything will go smooth we will have our submission date next week. We are very excited and ready to go to Ukraine to find our child/ren. But we put all our paperwork, time and everything into our Father's hands. Please pray with us for next week submission date, and for our paperwork get to Ukraine on time.


Thank you

God Bless you

Few more things done

Today we notarized  our last document for our home study, and we should have our home study finalized hopefully this week. :) Also we did our fingerprints at local police station, and I will send them to Bureau of Investigation tomorrow. As long as I remember to get back our certified letter, it can take up to 6 weeks.

Once we have our home study we will start to get all other documents together. And next month or two looks like will be very busy for us, but we are very happy and can't wait to travel to meet our child/ren.

We are very happy that things started to move again, but also I do worry a lot about the process and girls, and "A" facilitator, just too many things. We are praying and we  know that God will never let us down.

Home study update....and "facilitators"

Summer, and everyone is very busy. I dont' have time to blog, which is sad.

Today I e-mailed our social worker, and she said that we should see our home study draft tomorrow. :) Happy about that.  Our home study agency was saying that they have 10 days to get our home study draft, but it took way longer. Oh well, with Ukrainian changes, and with out knowing what it's going to happen  we are not in a hurry.  We are praying about adoption, and staying calm about all this situation. We know that God is in control, and the only thing we can do it's to pray... and trust God.

After I wrote an e-mail to "our female facilitator"(from now on I will call her "A"), almost 4 weeks ago,telling her that we will not be able to work together,  I finally got a reply from her today. She wants to work with us, and she gave us a lot of updates on sisters. I really not sure what we will do about this "facilitator" situation. I am really worry that "A" will do something and we will not be able to adopt sisters. Looks like "A", is in very good relationship with orphanage director. More praying and thinking.....

Facilitator update

After a lot of praying and thinking we decided to say no to our "lady facilitator". First we did talk to our facilitator, who we had meet during our first adoption, and he agreed to work with us , and help us to get our "sisters" home. Praise our God!   Because when we just found out about "sisters" and did ask our first facilitator if he can do our adoption, he wasnt' really happy, he didn't' want to get in in to "lady facilitator" business.

So after waiting for another week to get our contract and just simple questions answers from our "lady facilitator", we decided it was enough. We dont' need any more stress during our adoption process. Adoption itself is a stressful journey, rewarding but stressful. So now  we have our wonderful  facilitator Valentin with us. :)

Please pray that "lady facilitator" will not try to get in between us and "sisters". We are hoping that all this process will go fast and smooth.

Today we received last passport needed for our travel, our baby's passport.
Last week we received receipt from USCIS, and waiting for our fingerprint appointment.
As soon as we know something about our home study, we will start on other documents. I think for now we have to do our Certified letters( card fingerprints require for this one), as long as I remember it takes up to 6 weeks.

I think this is it :)
