Today (August 13) is the 20th business day in our waiting process. So there is a chance that we could hear something today, but at the least we think we’ll get our much-anticipated news sometime this week.
Please keep us in your prayers as we anxiously await the official word that we’ve been approved, as well as when we’ll be traveling to bring home our Little Guy!
UPDATE at 2:20 PM: Well, it looks like next week is our new “target” for getting an answer (approval/travel dates) from SDA. We’ll keep you all posted as things continue to develop!

We set up a new blog, mainly to post pictures of our boy as he grows up (way too fast!).

Bio-Family Searches
We recently conducted a bio-family search in Ukraine. We used the wonderful services of GENE SAGIN in Donetsk. His cost was reasonable and his work was thorough. If you are considering a bio-family search and would like info on Gene, feel free to email us.
Our Ukrainian Adoption
You can click here (Nov 07) and here (Dec 07) to read about our time in Ukraine. We left Atlanta on November 5, 2007 and returned with our son on December 7, 2007.

Okay heart, start beating again! I saw the "Lucky 13" and thought, "this is it,they got the travel date." Guess I'd better follow through to the end instead of reading the heading. It surely will be soon. I've thought of him all day today for some reason. Much more than usual. I pray God lets him feel our love for him already. Love you all three (oops, and Adie too) Mom
