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.

Looks like William is having a blast! I've loved following your blog, from before you left for Ukraine. I so related to your journey as you were preparing for a little boy, as we adopted a boy (Peter William) in 2006. We are awaiting our dossier submittal for round two. I believe I recall you mentioning that your husband works in the automobile industry...so do I. I am so happy for you and for William. God is truly amazing!
All the best to your family.

William is so handsome! Since I have a William and I call him "Winky" for his nickname, I was wonder if you call him anything else.
It looks colder there than here - go figure. And I love Goodnight Moon from your list on the right. It was one of my favorites to read to the kids. I can still quote most of it. May I also recommend Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney? It's awesome! We read it both in German and English.
Wish we'd been there to play in the snow with yall. All we got was a bunch of rain. Even tho we needed it, it's no fun to play in. Thanks for sharing the pics of William in the snow. Looks like he had a ball.
Love,
Mom
Looks like you guys had a great time! We've had a good bit of snow, but have only been out to play in it a few times. I thought you'd like to know that Grady was saying his prayers to night and said, "Thank you for Deedee and Grandaddy and Nana and D'Daddy and William..." --Ellie
Hello Dove family,
We have been following your story. We are in STL next to Mark & Courtney and hope to travel in June for 2 boys. Thank you for sharing your story; we have really enjoyed it! I have a quick question -- what is "recieved COC" on you timeline? Thanks Monica
monica.massie@agedwards.com or www.growingmassiefamily.blogspot.com
Monica,
COC is certificate of citizenship.
Thanks for following our journey!
Jennifer
