We finally have a date!! We have to be in Ukraine for our appointment at the SDA on March 10. We leave for Ukraine on March 7. We are so excited, but also nervous. I just can't wait to see him for the first time. We have so much to do before we leave. I told my kids in my class that I was adopting and would be gone for a while. They didn't understand the adoption thing. They kept asking me where his mom was. Here is a picture of Dylan's room. We did the car theme since that is what they said his interests
were. Only two weeks!!

Ugh! It has seems like it has been forever!! We found him late July and we don't know anymore now than we did then! No phone call yet for our travel date. I check my email constantly throughout the day. It is very frustrating. Today we got Dylan's coat in the mail that Nancy (grandma) bought him. It is so adorable!! I also bought him some write on/wipe off books to practice letters and numbers. We will take them to Ukraine with us. It's never to early to start. I'm glad I'm a teacher and know what he needs for his academia. (At least until he gets into the upper grades!)

Well, I have had many people ask me about the adoption so I have decided to write a blog. This seems like an easier way to keep people informed. We have recently been approved for the adoption by Ukraine. We are now awating our travel date. Dylan, as we will call him, is a six year old boy with dwarfism. He is living in an orphanage right now, but we hope to have him home soon. We found out today that we will more than likely have to stay in Ukraine for 35 days or more. Not looking forward to that! If we can get internet access easily, I will post about our trip and add pictures.
