As we began the adoption process, several people asked (and we asked ourselves), why adopt from Ukraine? After all, we have no family ties here. In many ways, I can honestly answer, I don't know.

Nick and Nancy's Ukraine Adoption. Nick and Nancy's adventures in adopting a child from a post-Iron Curtain, post-Cold War, post-Orange Revolution country. Monday, January 26, 2009. I'll spare you some of the ugly times we experienced at the customs when entering into USA but it certainly wasn't a short process. However, what kept my overly tired boys going was the knowledge that they would soon meet babushka and dadushka! They had seen their pictures in our photo album and always wanted to identify them.

The Great Patriotic War Museum. Well, after a nightmarish day like yesterday (1/17), we were due for a good day. And we had one, though the boys still were challenging. Yuri took us to a museum commemorating the Great Patriotic War (aka WW II). The museum has both indoor and outdoor displays. The helicopter was the biggest hit.

Catch Up Note: Last Day in Lugansk. I resolved to get up early and slip into Ruslan's room so as to not have him go into a jealous frenzy first thing in the morning. Then he decided to wake up Ruslan. He left the room before I could stop him. I slipped in to Ruslan's room to minimize the damage. I was wrong. T...It One of the...

Connie and Henry said. So those little boys think their mother is beautiful and love to look at her. That's terrific! After ...

We scrambled off in moments to the American Embassy, leaving Colin and Claire at the homestead. They also were flexible in setting a Visa a...

In response to Colin. Hi, Mom here. Colin is wrong, they make eye contact with us all the time. They look down and don't want to make eye contact when we scold them. This is fairly common and doesn't alarm me. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). McDonalds is NOT Their Kind of Place. The Great Patriotic War Museum. Nick and Na...
