To see our daughter behind those iron bars waving in the window and to know that we are so close to bringing her home. What does Ukraine have in store for us? What memories will we have burned into our minds forever? What will our bio daughter Amber think of life in Ukraine? Will she think differently about being an American after seeing where her sister has been? Will she appreciate what she has?<BR/><BR/>We are so happy for your family and through your journey we feel so much more prepared. Thanks for loving our Dasha while she waits for us to come in one months time.<BR/><BR/>God bless!<BR/><BR/>David & DonnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668995971145288694.post-85152775604232459492009-01-31T02:10:00.000-06:002009-01-31T02:10:00.000-06:00We are so inspired by your journey and our hearts ...We are so inspired by your journey and our hearts are further opened to the many orphans in Ukraine.

As Alan has said, we will have all been changed because of this land we have lived in and fought for our children in - for them to come home where they belong - to come home to the home that God, long ago chose and set in place for them. "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your future and to give you a future and a hope" - a verse from Jeremiah 29:11 we all are so familiar with. They have another sibling, (Mark)and parents and extended family waiting for them to come. Alan, we are waiting for you all to join Mark and I at home where you all belong. God, in your mercy, come and join us here.<BR/><BR/>NancyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668995971145288694.post-50694289281440410292009-01-30T21:30:00.000-06:002009-01-30T21:30:00.000-06:00You are so very right.

Especially the children sharing their Christmas candy. Children we had never met just walked up to us to give us a piece of their candy. The feeling is very hard to describe, but you've come very close.<BR/><BR/>Hope tomorrow brings good news.<BR/><BR/>Juneadopting2fromUkrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12112913922911428088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668995971145288694.post-33007278851532533972009-01-30T20:53:00.000-06:002009-01-30T20:53:00.000-06:00I love this post. <3I love this post. <3Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03693373973978501646noreply@blogger.com
