One of my "key" choices in life is to NOT waste time or wish time away. Hard to do that when you are going thru the adoption process! I am ready today, but no ones else knows this and most certainly Ukraine does not know this. :) Patients has never been my strongest virtue, I guess that is why I am being tested!Jules

And we are on our Way
So I am just at the beginning. After months of research hard choices and lots of family discussions we have entered the process of International Adoption. We are looking for our little girl. At first we thought she was in Russia but it seems that Ukraine is her spot. Ukrainian Angels is our guide, our light and holding our hands, not to mention saving us thousands of dollars and allowing us to even do this! Thank you Cathy Harris you are amazing!!So who are we, We are a family of four. Michael and I and our two amazing boys Domenic and Mitchel who are so willing to do any thing and give up anything to make this happen. They are truly amazing at ages 10 and 8. Such insight as to breaking down how much "less" they will get at every holiday, Christmas, vacation ect now that we will divide our assets by 3 kids instead of 2, but for them the pay off does not compare to having a little sister. They have heart!So we have started the home study, week 2. I want it done yesterday and I want to travel in the first 1/4 of the new year. LOL.

So I am now adopting from Russia, Moscow is the new plan. I am on my way. Well I think. We have choosen to leave the Ukraine and go to Russia. A few things happened that "moved" us to Russia. The first is Michael lost and then found a new job. So we do not have the time off to be out of the county for extended stay, and from everything I was reading it appreared to be running more then 6-8weeks. Now there is NO way to be away from my boys for that long, plus the money and the time off. Secondly Ukraine is saying that they no longer have healthy kids under age 6, well healthey or minor corectable problems. And lastly the program has been spotty at best. So now I am going to spend twice the money! Yeah! Way to go Jules!
SO why Moscow and Russia. Well I met a girl! LOL.
