T-5days

Ok so the countdown has begun! Today was my last day at work, picked up needed money from bank, Now just need to pack our bag. Can't believe in 5 days we will be boarding our plane to meet and pick up our son!
I can not believe this is going to happen! We are soooo EXCITED!

Butterflies

So is it humanly possible to have this many butterflies for this long!!! In 13days we will be in Kiev and 48hours from meeting our little man! There is so much to do before leaving and can't think straight cause all I can think about is loving on this little human being. No more pictures to look at every day, we will actually be able to wrap our arms around him and let him know that he is saved. It's so surreal!
SUPER EXCITED!!

Ukraine Bound Sept 30th

Tom and I are super excited, nervouse,elated,giddy.... We got our SDA date for Sept.30th. Can't believe it's really going to happen.
Thank you for all the prayers,special thoughts and just listening to me vent for the last year of this process.
Can't wait to continue with the NEW journey coming up with you all!!
YAHOO!!!!!

Another week, Another Dollar

Well we were able to get the letter the SDA requested in a lickadee split...it arrived on Monday, however DHL could not deliver it until Wednesday due to Ukraine's Independence Day on Tuesday. They have only had independence for 19years!! So it was delivered to our Ukraine Facilitator team on Wednesday but not until 4pm, so they were not able to get it to the SDA. Through some emails, we were informed that it was translated and notarized and would be delivered on Friday (which I hope it did..I have faith in the team that it was)
So the game plan now is sit and wait patiently again....I REALLY hope and pray that this week will give us the news we have SOOOOO been waiting for! We did get the little man's room done this week, ENJOY!

And yet again.....Another request

So we got news this morning from our state-side facilitator and Ukraine facilitator that the SDA (State Dept of Adoption) has requested another form to clarify what the 2 other forms they already have,says. It's very frustrating, upsetting,tearful, and any other other feeling I can possibly have.Good news is we have priority once our Ukraine facilitator receives it.
Is God trying to give us a sign....I know he's testing our limits and patience. I keep having the faith in HIM that he is guiding us in the right direction and bottom line it's bringing our beautiful son home!!!!

The contractions started...

So it's been a while, last week with our big, exciting news, I was at a diabetes camp for 12-14yrs old and was not able to post the AWESOME news!!! We were submitted last Thursday, 8/5. We are sooo close to getting our first child and little boy! The wait for our date doesn't seem so bad now.

We're coming sweet boy!! :-)

Still Waiting

So our completed re-do documents made it to the Ukraine last Monday, but unfortunately we are still waiting, No word on submission. We can only HOPE and PRAY that this Thursday can be the day. The wait is ABSOLUTELY killing me!
At least when your pregnant(i'm assuming,haven't been pregnant long enough), you get to feel the baby, see the baby on ultrasound, so you "know" them. This waiting and not knowing how he is, is tortuous. We were blessed with recent pictures of him in September but in 10months, he's changed drastically I'm sure.
Well we pray for Thursday and can have something to be excited and look forward to!!!
