It is official! We are going to Ukraine to adopt! We found out yesterday that we have our meeting with the Ministry of Ukraine the morning of November 17. We will leave on November 14 and arrive in Ukraine the night of November 15. Our real adventure begins in less than 2 weeks!

Here are some of our prayer requests:
- time and energy to accomplish everything that needs to get done before we leave
- safety and health while traveling to Ukraine and throughout our stay in Ukraine
- as few issues with paperwork as possible
- for the girl we want to adopt to be receptive to us and that she will want to be a part of our family
- for a quick court date so that we do not have to make two trips
- for everything to go smoothly and quickly in order to bring our daughter home and be able to celebrate  Christmas as a complete family
- for safety and health for our children and Grandma while they are home
- for our children to adjust to mom and dad being gone especially when it is even harder around the holidays
- for God to be preparing our children for this life change
- God’s continued provision, including reasonable air fare
- for God to be glorified through this entire process
- for us to have boldness to share the gospel openly to those we meet along our journey

Thank you for partnering with us financially and prayerfully! We could not do this without your support and the love, strength, and peace that comes from our Heavenly Father!
