We are leaving to Ukraine in less then 2 weeks from today! We are really excited! We speak with our boys, but we still did not tell them when we are coming, they have no clue! The orphanage already knows when we are coming and have prepared a room for us. We will be staying in Fathers House, where our boys are and will be spending a lot of time with them. So a friend that works at Fathers House will pick us up from the airport and take us to Fathers House.
This has been a very busy week for us. We were busy getting the boys' room prepared and also remodeling our daughters' rooms. They are almost all done, except for we still need beds for the boys' room because they were all sold out! So we keep calling to see when the store will have them in stock.
I have been looking for good deals on airfare and finally after a week of searching, ordered our tickets. We are leaving on the 24th of November. We are taking our youngest daughter who is 2 1/2 years old with us, so we needed a flight where we would not need to wait long in the airport. We got a great flight with only one stop. Thank God for His blessing in finding these tickets and at a great price too! We are hoping we will complete all adoption paperwork in the timeframe of our tickets, but its a total guess...our hope is in God. When we adopted our daughter in 2006, we also had an apointment date in November, but the 17th... We booked tickets for 3 weeks, thinking we would be done fast, but ended up staying in Ukriane exactly 3 months!!! But God was good till the end and we did not have to purchase new airfare. Our airfare was good for changes for 3 months. We came to Ukraine November 15, 2006 and left February 15, 2009..it was exactly 3 months! It was very cold and we walked A LOT and I came there being 6 months pregnant with my daughter and left when I was almost ready to give birth at 9 months... But I made it back to US and gave (easy) birth to a wonderful, healthy daughter.. Praise God!
So we, again, place all of this adoption process in the hands of our loving Father, who controls everything and everyone. And in His hands is the safest place to be.
I will download pictures of the boys' room hopefully this week...

You're a step ahead of us on the tickets. Please email at my yahoo address. Let's see if we can connect in Kiev.
It is getting so close! I can't wait to hear how the boys react when you surprise them. :-)
Who is your facilitator? Feel free to e-mail me at hoffhouse at hotmail dot com. We're still deciding... :-)
It's getting close! I can't wait to hear how the boys react to seeing you all. Hopefully this trip will be MUCH quicker than the last one. WOW! Nine months pregnant. That had to be scary! I can't imagine delivering in a Ukranian hospital.
What a blessing! You already have your accommodations taken care of. You won't have to travel or get out in the weather unless you want to:) We experienced 10 or more below zero last December/January!
I'm looking forward to following your journey!

This is such an incredible journey. We just sent our dossier on Wednesday and it is going to the SDA on Thursday. We'd love to hear more about your fund raising activites. We hope to bring our daughter home from Odessa in February. She's 12 and lives in Intranot #4. May God be with you always. Feel free to email us at dbaskets13@verizon.net. GOOD LUCK!
