The Road to Matveevka

The road to Matveevka orphanage is not an easy one. It was about 6,000 miles from here. It's literally trains, planes and automobiles. I hope to give you a few highlights of our first trip in a video montage as we prepare for our second. We had a 12hrs layover in Germany, then to Kiev, Zaporozhyzha and finally the village of Matveevka where the orphanage is. I have made this video as closure from our failed adoption as we prepare to leave again. 

The next few weeks we will be challenging since we will be leaving our home again and embarking on another emotional journey. I hope you can help us with our adoption efforts by praying mainly. God will provide us all we need for these children. Our fundraising efforts are on-going until we are back safe in the U.S.A. If you feel led the donate, please do. We appreciate everything.  He has already given us such great people we call friends. Our fast turn around time is due to the pending cold winter weather in the Ukraine. The likes of which no Southerner has ever seen. With that said we don't have any winter clothes, yikes! And we want to be back for the holidays here in America.

Also, adoption paperwork has a shelf life. It took eight months to prepare, working daily on it and the longer we wait the older it gets.  Finally and most importantly, Ruslan and Karina are waiting for us. We don't want to keep them waiting any longer than they have to.
