We are now patiently, or not so patiently, waiting to start getting information on little girls to choose from in the Ukraine. We are excited to finally put a face on the prayers we've been sending up! Thank you and bless you all, for the prayers that you have sent up for our family and this adoption process. It has taken many people and answered prayers to get this far, and we could not have done it without you!
Just to give you an idea of how many people: Last week we found out we needed "one more form" for the dossier in the Ukraine. John and I rushed over to the bank to have the form signed by us and notarized. My dad, who happened to be visiting, took the form back to Salem with him and kindly stood in line to get the form authenticated/apostilled. Then my dad took the form to my brother, Jeff, who so nicely scanned the form and emailed it to me (so I could email it to our agency). Then Jeff dropped the form off with my mom, who will bring it back up to my house with her, when she visits on Friday!

Kisses in the Wind: Author Unknown
I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.
I know you wonder where we are.. what's taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.
Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...
Because tonight just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.
May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.
I promise you my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.
Very soon you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.
But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.
May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.
And let angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.
