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!

I'd love to hear from you, if you need someone to talk to please click on the contact link below.

We have a travel date. Our appointment is November 18th! Woo Hoo! Nina we are coming!

This blog will be going private in about 2 weeks so let me know if you want to be invited!
