Our dossier has definitely been submitted as of yesterday! Prayers for smooth sailing so we can get our boy home!
Thank you Lord for bringing us this far! Help us to the end! Amen!

I am always so happy to get to see our boy. He is so beautiful and perfect! How can I love someone so much I have never even met?! It is totally God! He has put this sweet, kind child in my heart. I am praying our dossier is in submission and we can travel this summer soon! 

Waiting is so hard! I have never been good at it!

Please keep praying. We received word today that our dossier is in translation and should be done by the end of this week. Hopefully it will be submitted next week! Prayers, prayers everything continues to go smoothly!

Feeling better today. Spoke with a really kind lady at the Secretary of State's office, she pulled, processed and mailed our dossier back. I pray to have it in my hands tomorrow. I will overnight it to Cara and hopefully off to the Ukraine! I pray for smooth sailing please! I want my boy home!

It has been such a hard day today. I haven't spoken to my boy in over a week. I am not sure if I will be able to stay in touch with him over the next few months. Our contacts are leaving the region soon. I am worried about him. I pray that our dossier comes in from the Secretary of State this week, but they say it will be 7-10 days. Even with an explanation, they won't put a rush on it. I am very disappointed, but not surprised!
I need lots of prayers!

The wait is killing me! I do not like to wait. I pray our dossier will get back to us in the next couple of days so we can overnight to the agency before Good Friday! Please be in prayer for our family and "S". I really can't wait to get my boy home.
Thanks so much!

Look at this sweet boy! He is beautiful and perfect! Pray for a smooth go from here. We want him home with us!

Feeling so useless! I mailed our dossier to the Secretary of State Friday to be apostilled! I have been working so hard the last month, I do not know what to do with myself. I hate waiting!
I want to go get my boy! Please keep us and "S" in your prayers, praying that everything goes smooth!

Almost ready to send the dossier to Secretary of State of Texas to be apostilled! One step closer!

Feeling some relief...

Look what I received today!
Thank you Noelle for sending this. I love my sweet boy's smile! Such a beautiful child!
I have been frantically trying to get the documents ready for the dossier, working on grant applications and worrying about where on earth we will come up with the money to adopt this precious child. People keep reminding me that God will provide. It's hard for me to completely stop worrying and believe it. I am a worrier! Thank you Dad for that gene! I must keep focusing on finishing the dossier and pray the rest will all fall into place. God will provide!

Meet "S". He is in the blue shirt.

We are in the process of adopting him from the Ukraine.

Help us bring him home!

We have received a few donations and we have had a few t shirt purchases! Thanks to everyone! Please keep sharing!
