Pretre's Adoption Blog: Via Ukraine
http://pretreadoptionblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/via-ukraine.html
Monday, December 19, 2011. Last week, I came across what I think is the most helpful blog I've ever seen for Ukraine adoptions. It is anonymous, so this mom isn't afraid to talk about any issue. I've added it to my links, it is called Via Ukraine. Go take a look at it (it has the coolest background ever). I had that same adorable background for a long time! Thanks for the link. December 23, 2011 at 12:16 PM. That is one of my favs! Her sense of humor is great! January 24, 2012 at 6:57 AM. Chris and Maria...

Pretre's Adoption Blog: Our SDA Appointment
http://pretreadoptionblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/our-sda-appointment.html
Saturday, November 29, 2008. We had our SDA appointment last Wednesday at 3:00 PM. The SDA building is about a 15 min. walk from our apartment. Dima, part of Oleg’s facilitator team, took the subway and met us at our apartment. From there, we walked together to the SDA. If you go up the stairs of the church, seen in the picture, there is a portico that completely surrounds it. From here, there is a panoramic view of the lower parts of Kiev. When you go in that side door, immediately to your left is an L-...

Pretre's Adoption Blog: Edgy Russian Folk Music
http://pretreadoptionblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/edgy-russian-folk-music.html
Friday, February 24, 2012. Edgy Russian Folk Music. Last summer I came across a Russian singer named Inna Zhelannaya (Инна Желанная) on YouTube and immediately fell in love with her music. She sings Russian folk tunes done in an alternative style. She totally sucked me in. I went to her official website. Where you can download music for a donation, and made a CD of her Winter album (Zima - Зима). You can read more about her in the Russian Wikepedia article. I agree with a reviewer of Winter on Amazon.

Pretre's Adoption Blog: Isn't This Your Father's World?!!
http://pretreadoptionblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/isnt-this-your-fathers-world.html
Monday, January 31, 2011. Isn't This Your Father's World? Please post this video to your blogs. This past weekend I went on a little mission trip with Mark and his fellow sophomore class from Mitchell Christian School. We went to Sioux Falls to experience Urban Plunge. Saturday night, we watched this powerful video, called A Thousand Questions. It encourages us to get involved to make a difference for Christ in our world. In the adoption world, we often talk about the Starfish story. I am worried that it...

Pretre's Adoption Blog: Hard Times
http://pretreadoptionblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/hard-times.html
Thursday, July 14, 2011. We lived out our adoption in this public blog, and we loved having you along on our journey. But this situation just isn't appropriate to talk about here. I have been following your blog for several years. I dont know what is going on but I can guess. We went through an extremely difficult time as well and I have just now started blogging again. I will be praying for you. Rhonda. July 14, 2011 at 6:03 PM. Praying for you and your family! July 14, 2011 at 6:22 PM. Sorry to hear ab...

Pretre's Adoption Blog: Farming in Ukraine
http://pretreadoptionblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/farming-in-ukraine.html
Friday, April 8, 2011. Recently, quite by accident I websurfed into a blog of a Canadian family running a dairy farm in Ukraine. Though Nancy and I aren't farmers, we live in ag country here in South Dakota and both Nancy and my families have farming backgrounds. I have really enjoyed reading the posts from Garry and Teresa Verhoog. I added their blog to my Missionaries blogroll way down there on the bottom left. Nowadays with Facebook it seems harder to find good blogs. I think that is very cool. Hey, A...

Pretre's Adoption Blog: A New Father's Brief Time
http://pretreadoptionblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/new-fathers-brief-time.html
Saturday, April 2, 2011. A New Father's Brief Time. Back when I was in college, forever ago, I served as a co-chair for our MDA. Dance-a-thon. It was very rewarding to help raise money to look for a cure for muscular dystrophy. It was with sadness that I ran across this story. Of a young dad named Matt Strzyzewski who passed away from the disease, leaving his wife and baby behind. A new father's brief time, recounted for his beloved son. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Pretre's Adoption Blog: Our Trip to Kiev
http://pretreadoptionblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/our-trip-to-kiev.html
Friday, January 23, 2009. Our Trip to Kiev. Today, Friday, is Day 4 of the 10-day waiting period. Yesterday, I stayed at the apartment. I was intending to go visit Sergey, but my sleep schedule is not quite synced up with Ukraine and I was quite fatigued. Sleeping since Sunday has been a challenge, also, partly because of our trip to Kiev this week. To her. That was fun searching for the. I was wondering if she had ever slept in such a large bed before. Her bunkbed at the orphanasge is small. After this ...

Pretre's Adoption Blog: Lost Angel
http://pretreadoptionblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/lost-angel.html
Thursday, February 2, 2012. I was saddened to read of the passing of 8 y.o. Brandon Kerr, adopted from Ukraine last May. He was injured in a bike accident and died yesterday. His funeral is this coming Saturday. Please remember the Kerr family. The emotions of sadness I feel are like when I read the Patterson's story about their little adopted daughter Chrissie. Who passed away in May 2010. The Patterson's. Are in Ukraine right now adopting two little boys. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Chris and M...
