    Hey Marie! I had no idea you guys were adopting. My sister, Jennifer and brother-in-law adopted a precious baby girl last year from China. They got her right before Christmas, just had their one year adoption date this past week. It was a difficult road for them also. Rinnah will be three in March and since they have gotten her, she has progressed quickly. She is so funny and has adjusted to everything, including two older brothers and a sister, no to mention lots of rowdy cousins. She truly is a miracle! I wish you guys the best and will keep you all in my prayers. I will send your information to Jennifer, as I am sure they would have words of encouragement for you guys. I wish you safe travels and the miracle of your own precious child to bring back with you!

    Hello the Bishops,

    could you possibly mention the address of the Christian get-together (and how to get there) on your blog?

    There are a lot of Christians going over for adoption, feeling lonely during the long waits in Kiev. It would be great for them to know a place where they can go for worship.

    Thanks!

    I was directed to your blog by Jonathan Oue. I am a missionary living in Kyiv and will certainly be praying for your third appointment tomorrow. I sent my cell phone number to Jonathan…feel free to call if you’d like to talk to someone speaking English! Marianna (aka ukrainiac) My husband is a pediatrician and may be able to help answer questions about the children you are seeing…

      This is unreal. I have your husbands cell number in my phone. I just about called him this morning due to our son’s health. We brought along our 9 year old who was struggling a bit with bronchitis before we left. It is such a small world. I had no idea you guys were the friends Jonathan had mentioned to us! We are in Kiev a couple more days. Our last SDA appointment is tomorrow.

    I found you through a third party. I have a friend who just adopted in Uganda and another who is working toward that. My own daughter will be in Europe this summer working at an orphanage with her husband as missionaries. I am praying for you all and will keep up with your postings on the adoption.
