Friday: April 28...I called the USCIS office and found out who our officer is and that she was processing our I171H today.  It then has to go to her supervisor for the final approval.  I am hoping we get it in the mail next week so that I can send it to Indianapolis for the Apostille.  I will hopefully have it ready to send to the Ukraine by the end of next week beginning of the following week.  That's it...we're finished with the endless paper work and will just be waiting for our travel date.  Praise God!!


I look at our children several times everyday...actually every time I get on the computer.  I long to be there holding them and letting them know that soon they will never have to be alone again.  John is so excited and comes home everyday talking about how blessed we are and how he can't wait to get them home. How blessed am I to be married to a man that loves children the way he does!


Monday: April 30...I checked the mail and there it is our approval from Immigration to adopt three children with special needs. YEA!!!!! I will go tomorrow and meet John at work to have it notarized and mail it to Indianapolis for the Apostille. I can't believe that by the end of the week it will be on it's way to the Ukraine and we are finished as far as paper work goes.


I have been truly blessed by my girls giving me baby cloths. Thanks Charity and Faith!! I have been ironing and organizing closets trying to have everything ready for when we return. I know we will have plenty of things to deal with when we get home and the last thing I want to worry with is what cloths fit and where they are. :) I want to have the cribs ready, cloths put away, high chairs assembled, and everything where it belongs when we get back because I have a feeling I am going to have my hands full...LOL!
