​

We should have the rest of our paperwork for our dossier next Thursday afternoon. Then we'll mail it to Ukraine and they should get it by Monday...then we'll hopefully be heading to get our girl by the end of March!

Our little sweetie has no idea we are coming and no idea how much we love her, but we can’t wait to see her, to hold her, to sing to her, to snuggle with her, to rock her and tell her how much we love her. We have no idea what to expect when we meet her, of course, but we imagine it will be a sweet meeting.

Hannah and Micah are both going with us so that will make the trip even more an adventure! I’ll only be going for the first two weeks (until court is over) and then Mary and Hannah will stay for the final 4 weeks and make the journey home to the USA at the conclusion of the adoption. (Micah will come home with me).

Thankfully, my mom has volunteered to stay with the kids and then to stay on until Mary and Hannah come home to help with the kids. What a blessing!!

He has done great things and we are filled with JOY!

Blessed be the name of the Lord!
