New Pic


This picture is from our previous court date.  Vacya looked so nice in his new shirt from Uncle Josh and Aunt Kaley.  He seems to have gotten taller since we were here before and the pants we brought for him were a little too short, but still big around the waist.  At least it's summer so he can just wear shorts for now :)

J & J,
Beautiful! Worth every moment and every penny!!!

CS NY last night featured an orphanage & the title was "Children of Darkness"....We are so proud & greatful for the two of you having loving hearts to bring the light to Vacyas'life.
& no doubt the light he brings to yours!
We are equally greatful for your employment & the caring co workers & friends who offer the support, prayers/thoughts thru all of this.
Thank you to all of YOU!

Thanks for updating...I don't know if Tammy told you but my husband preached on 1 Thes. last week and his huge ending illustration was You all and Vacya and the endurance etc., it takes---knowing that the VICTORY is to come. SO know that your story of pressing on is touching people EVERYWHERE--even in Mesquite, Texas! We are praying for you. It was so awesome to meet you.

Wow, what a good looking family! I can't believe that Vacya is so tall, just wait till he gets to the states and starts getting real food! He will be taller than you both in no time. We are praying for Vacya's safty until he ccan be with you for good. Love Julie

Glad to see you are hanging in there! You guys look great! I was serious when I said you come clothes shopping at our house! It sounds like he is shaped just like Sam!

We'll keep praying for you and Vacya so keep your spirits up!

Hi, I just found your blog today. I took the time to read all the previous posts before commenting. I just wanted to let you know we will be praying that all goes well with your court date next week. We have been home for a little over 2 months now with our 12yo daughter. Our SDA appointment was on December 12 and we arrived home with her on April 15. We weren't in Ukraine the whole time. The circumstances are different, but we understand the frustrations and the waiting. We have friends who went through a lot also to bring their children home. We also had a facilitator names Andrei (both us and our friends) He probably isn't the same one, but they both work somewhat the same:0

It is difficult while you are going through all the frustrations, but once it is all said and done and you have your son home, looking back on everything will be a distant memory.

Best wishes,
June

This a hello to all of you. I have been wondering what has been going on and I was pointed in this direction. I just wanted to let you know that you are definately in my prayers. I truly wish you the best. I didn't know if I was going to post anything. As I read I see all the support and love that you're receiving through these uncertain times. I felt that I also needed to send my support and love out to you as well. Take care.
