A little background...

Because so many have asked, I started our Blog to share our adoption journey. We have two adopted daughters, 15 and 8 year olds and one biological daughter, 2 year old. We decided that we would like to add more children to our family through adoption and started gathering all required paperwork for adoption in January 2008. We were approved for 2 kids up to age 15. We completed the Dossier for adoption from Ukraine and sent it to our facilitator. It has been there since, and could not be submitted to the SDA (Adoption Center) because it has not been accepting new Dossiers.
This summer we hosted 2 wonderful boys from Fathers House age 12 and 14 (brothers), an orphanage where we adopted one of our daughters from in 2006 in Kiev, Ukraine. While they were here, we absolutely fell in love with them and decided that we wanted them to be a part of our family. We prayed a lot for the kids we were to adopt, when we didnt even know them and we felt that this was our answer from God. We dont know if these children are available for adoption and we are praying that they are.
We are working with another attorney in Ukraine now. We updated and fixed all of our Dossier paperwork and will get it Apostilled and sent of to Ukraine today. The attorney will translate it and submit it to the SDA.
