Our Little Ukrainian Angel Adoption Journey...: The Christmas Jar...
http://www.ourlittleangel.org/2009/12/christmas-jar.html
Thursday, December 31, 2009. As we left the orphanage with Yuliya, the only thing that brought a smile to her face was the promise that if things ever changed, we would come back to her. She has since written us many letters, asking if we are coming for her. Well, one thing is for sure with Ukraine: nothing is for sure. And sometimes that is good! Eliza and her new MP3 player. Brandon, sending a text message from his new phone 18 seconds after he ripped the wrapping off of it. Two years ago if you told m...

Our Little Ukrainian Angel Adoption Journey...: Back to school!
http://www.ourlittleangel.org/2009/08/back-to-school.html
Thursday, August 20, 2009. Today was the first day of school in America for Yuliya. There has been quite a bit of anticipation surrounding this day. Yuliya is so worried about her English skills. Fortunately, Carrie worked hard to get Yuliya a good teacher, and friends from the neighborhood in the same class. Fortunately, Yuliya was forged by many years in the orphanage and will be able to conquer the 6th grade. After a few days, she'll realize that she's one of the smartest girls in the class. For 3 wee...

Our Little Ukrainian Angel Adoption Journey...: 13!
http://www.ourlittleangel.org/2010/04/13.html
Friday, April 2, 2010. Yuliya turned 13 years old on March 19. It's hard to believe we met her when she was 10! Next month it will be 1 year since we left for Ukraine to get her. It seems so long ago, but looking through old posts, it brings back memories like they were yesterday. Yuliya, October 2007. Yuliya, Feb 2010. Looking back, what have we learned at this point? Looking back, there were times we should have met with an interpreter a lot more, just to make sure we were all on the same page with cer...

http://www.ourlittleangel.org/2010_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 19, 2010. We continued to study untill 11PM, and went to bed. It's moments like these make me wonder what I ever did without her in my life. I need these moments, even if they are few and far between, to offset the moment like I had last night where I should have just kept my mouth shut. At Friday, November 19, 2010.

Our Little Ukrainian Angel Adoption Journey...: Hello again!
http://www.ourlittleangel.org/2012/10/hello-again.html
Tuesday, October 2, 2012. The picture above is Yuliya and her best friend, Masey - an amazing girl who has been a Godsend for Yuliya. She has the patience of Job, and loves Yuliya. RAD issues trickle over into all aspects of a child's life, including friendships and relationships, so when a good friend comes along who understands this, it is an answer to prayers. At Tuesday, October 02, 2012. Andreas thank you so much for sharing this. October 6, 2012 at 11:33 AM. And what are you doing to help her?
