Here we go . . . !

This is our first post regarding our adoption journey; however, the journey began many years ago. We both believe the Lord called us to adopt internationally even prior to being married. We have done much praying regarding this adventure, researched many different options and believe God has lead us to adopt from Ukraine. We officially began this leg of the journey approximately two years ago and after a crazy amount of paperwork, waiting and more updating of paperwork, we received the great news that our appointment at the SDA (the official adoption governing body in Ukraine) is slated for Wednesday, September 17th. We leave for Ukraine on Sunday, September 14th and are planning to take our two wonderful daughters, Madison (7) and Mallory (5) with us. We are excited to see what the Lord has planned for our family, knowing He goes before us every step of the way.
