The Day

Today has been a long day and June and Karina are at the apartment. June must be tired to give me permission to do a blog entry. Karina spent her last night in an orphanage. Today she was a big part of the family and we spent most of the day trying to get the passport. No problems, but we have to go back tomorrow morning.
This evening we went shopping and I watched my wife of twenty six years and our new daughter pick out girl things for the shower and lots and lots of food. Karina requested one of almost everything in the store. In the store we were approached by a man with very broken English. He lives in America and Ukraine is his homeland.
He asked if it was an adoption, and when I said yes, He thanked me. It has been an interesting day.

Congratulations! Though Karina never left your hearts, to be physically together again and now be able to go everywhere freely with here must be such a delight. Thanks, Dennis! :-)

A belated thank you for your comment on our blog from Monday March 3rd.

Sounds like lots of excitement on your end. Understandable! Your daughter is that much closer to coming home with you. I look forward to your "homecoming" post. Upload lots of pics if possible!!

I like the story of the Ukrainian man thanking you.

Our March 3rd appt turned out to be a failure but we had a good 2nd appt today. Heading to Western Ukraine tomorrow morning to look at a sibling group. Wish us luck and say a prayer. We're also ready to go home with our little girl(s)!

God bless...
