One year ago today...submitted!

Yep, last year on October 28th, our dossier (for Elijah) was submitted to the SDA in Ukraine to officially register us as adoptive parents. I blogged about it HERE. Wow...what a year it has been!

We've added not just one, but two beautiful boys to our family.  Between both adoptions, I've flown to Ukraine three times and spent about 9 weeks of the last year there. You would think I should be fluent in Russian after all of that! :-) Nope, not even close...

But all the glory goes to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Without Him, NONE of this would have possible. To Him be the Glory! I praise Him for ALL of the beautiful children the Lord has given me...whether they grew under my heart or in my heart.
