We finally received our SDA appointment via e-mail today!!! We are to be in Kyev, Ukraine on Monday, June 7th at 11am to begin the in-country process to bring Nadia home!!! That date is very significant since it is also my Mom's birthday! We are so excited and have already called the travel agency to start looking at flights for our trip.
We will be taking our two sons, Allen (13) and Michael (10) with us. We really agonized over whether to take Josi along as well but decided it was better all the way around to have her stay with my parents in Pennsylvania. She is VERY excited to have her grandparents, aunts and cousins all to herself while we're gone! Oh yes, A.J. the best Beagle in the world will be there too. :)
Hang on little girl! Your Mommy and Daddy are almost there to get you!!!

That is really neat about it being your mom birthday. We cant tell you how excited we are. Let us know if you need anything.
ReplyDeleteWooHoo!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!!!
Yippee!! I'm so happy for you. It has moved sooo fast, compared with most adoptions.(I know that it doesn't feel that way for you, but any wait is too long when you are the one waiting). I'm praising God with you. I can't wait to meet Miss Nadia. Be sure I will be covering in prayer every step of the way.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! I am so happy for you!! Congratulations!! That is so cool about the date being the same as your mom's birthday. I love it when God does stuff like that. :)
ReplyDeletePraise the Lord!!!!! Isn't it wonderful the way God threw in the "mom's birthday" just to remind you that He cares about every facet of this adoption? She really WILL be here before you know it!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! I know you've been waiting oh sooo patiently :) for this date!! Can't wait to hear about the adventure! Kim B
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm just overjoyed to read your news! God's timing is so perfect to include your mom's birthday on that important day of your adoption journey. I'm glad your sons will be able to travel with you and see where Nadia came from. It has helped my kiddos understand their new brother after spending time at his orphanage. (And I'm sure Josi will love the individual attention with your extended family.)
ReplyDeleteYour precious girl will be home soon!

ReplyDeleteYeah!! Congrats to you, Jim & your family Kristen! And, I think Josie has the perfect idea--grandparents, aunts, uncles & cousins all to yourself is an ideal fantasy world for many her age!! Hope the remaining weeks fly by (but provide all th time needed for preparations) & look forward to lots of posts & pics when Nadia meets her family!!
ReplyDeleteSO happy for you guys!! Not much longer now...praying for you!
