Ukraine: FTW!!

Donald and I (Katrina) have recently made the first steps toward a Ukrainian adoption. Needless to say, we're both thrilled with this decision, and are excited for what lies ahead for us.

The road to this decision was a long and complicated one. Though we knew our Heavenly Father had parenthood through adoption in His plan for us, the details of said plan weren't always clear. To us, where our child came from and what he or she looked like, wasn't a factor. We simply desired to find the child we were meant to be with. In the last two years, we explored domestic infant adoption, foster-adoption, and various different international programs. Ultimately, Ukraine turned out to be the route for us.

While we hope our family and friends will enjoy keeping up with our journey through this blog, my main intended audience is other families considering, and going through, Ukrainian adoption. Since Donald and I have started on the process, I've found other blogs to be a huge support, encouragement, and source of information.

I'm generally awful about updating our family blog, so I don't expect to change overnight for this one. Thus, most posts here will be short, sweet, and to the point. Things might lean more toward technical than emotional, as the "technical details" on other adoption blogs are what I've personally craved most.

...wish us luck!
