The U.S. Department of Homeland Security sent us a letter today. In the opening paragraph it says, "It has been determined that you are able to furnish proper care to an orphan or orphans as defined by Section 101 (b)(1)(F) of the Immigration and Nationality Act." Some of you may be thinking..."Yeah, that applies to Gina...but how'd Dave get by?" Hey, I'm just thankful Gina's normal and we'll just leave it at that! So...
Tonight we get all our paperwork notarized and hopefully tomorrow head over to Lincoln to get them certifiied by the Secretary of State. From there is a short certified insured mail hop to Virginia to our adoption agency followed by a trans-Atlantic airmail to Kiev, Ukraine for translation!
As I write, we are in the process of preparing for her arrival. What has been our guest bedroom is rapidly becoming a pink wonderland. The bed frame is assembled awaiting a mattress, wallpaper is stripped, the holes spackled, and the paint is moments from coat one.

Thank you so much for sending me links to you blog. I am so happy to hear about your new arrival. FYI my mom was adopted so I know firsthand how special it is for families to make this decision.
You are in my prayers.
