Adelina

Wednesday, August 24th, 2005

Well, |Jodi| has the happy news… we’ve found our (Lord-willing) daughter-to-be!!

She’s absolutely beautiful, and has a smile to warm, or break, your heart. She’s also deaf. She has yet to speak a word to us, but we love her just the same. Her name is Adelina - a name as lovely as she is, and we’re keeping it.

*blissful sigh*

Greetings from Kiev

Thursday, August 18th, 2005

Hi all, from our flat in Kiev, Ukraine! Our flat is right about the middle of this map, on Zhytomers’ka. We’re about a 15 min. walk to the main Independence Square downtown.

But I’m not here to chit-chat about our flat. To ge the real scoop on progress on the adoption, check out |Jodi|’s blog. She has been faithfully posting for the 50 weeks of preparation for this trip, as well as the journey itself.

It has been an incredible journey so far. We have not yet “found” our children (read up on the process to understand what that really means) but we are going tomorrow for our third appointment and are hopeful and trusting that God is in control.

Go on now, check out Speaks Her Mind, and get the skinny!
