Welcome to our family blog!

On November of 2009, we traveled to Ukraine to adopt our daughter, Nina. This blog chronicles the time from when we committed to her, to a year after she was home.

Nina has Cerebral Palsy, and like most orphans with special needs in eastern Europe, she would have been transferred to a mental institution between the age of 4-5. She has been a blessing in our lives!

adoption. If you are thinking about buying the book, and want to help us bring Nina home, you can buy the book from me.
