Sometimes I thinking about how much energy, money, and time
we put into paperwork for an adoption and I get discouraged. I am always asking myself, why does it have
to be so hard? The emotional rollercoaster you are put on is challenging. I have
been able to keep my spirits up by reading peoples blogs who have completed an
adoption in Ukraine. Their stories are
very similar to ours. So that gives me
hope that with every down turn, every paperwork correction, political unrest,
ink color, folder color, and so on; that it will all come to a beautiful
ending.
Some people may already know that we know of a few sibling
sets currently available for adoption in Ukraine. Some of these sets along the way have follow
off the eligibility list, either by adoption or other reasons. I keep looking at their little faces every
night to build up my strength. I pray
that they are safe and with everything going on be able to get food and basic
needs. Also, that one day they will get
to know a parents love, by us or another family.
Tomorrow our paperwork will be turned into Ukraine!! I hope to have a good update soon. With this submission we should be receiving word
of our travel date in the next 20 days or so.
I really hope it is soon.
