Available!

We got the great, long-awaited news from our attorney in Ukraine. Our boys are available for international adoption and have been registered with the SDA for many years now! We are so excited!
Our situation is kind of complicated because my age restricts me from adopting the boys in Ukraine. To adopt from Ukraine the parents and the child need to have at least 15 years age difference. I only have 12 years age difference with Aleks and 14 with Dima. So we are submitting our paperwork as my husband (who qualiffies with his age) to be the one parent adopting and I will only give my written permission for the adoption. Our attorney said that it will be complicated to submit our paperwork, because of different restriction in Ukrainian law, but she spoke with the SDA about our case and the SDA said that they will accpet our dossier tomorrow!!!! So that means that we should find out when our travel date is, soon!
We talk to our boys often and use skype to see each other, which is great! They miss us a lot and keep asking about the paperwork and when we will come to take them home forever. We miss them too and so do our daughters. They always talk about the boys being here. Please keep praying so that everything moves in God's timing. We trust Him to lead us through this adoption.
