Jerry and I want everyone to know how much we appreciate the prayers and support. We hope to be able to share this journey with you as we live it. Our hope is that you will share this blog with anyone who is considering adopting (especially from Ukraine!). As Jerry says, it is our second favorite country in the world. I want you to know how much we appreciate the support of OM and SP. You have become our families. We thank you for understanding and carrying the torch while we are away. Meadowbrook has truly become a place of comfort and growth for us. We want you to know how much we will need you in the upcoming days. Your prayers will be comforting and we can not think of a better place to raise our family. We will never be able to thank our families for all of the support they have given and being accepting of this crazy adventure. We love you and appreciate you for all of the things that you are going to do for us in the future.
God reveals himself in amazing ways. As Jerry and I sit here tonight, we are in awe of the wonderful people that are a part of our life. We are truly blessed in ways that we could have never imagined. We cannot wait for our children to meet you! We are thankful for you-We want you to know how much we appreciate your support for our family.
Only 3 more days!!

We are so excited for the two of you. I (Kelley) want to reinforce what J.T. said Sunday - savor every moment in the Ukraine. Those will be the moments that your children will never tire of hearing about.
We know that it is an emotional roller coaster now. One of our favorite pre-trip verses was:
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Phillipians 4:6
Wanted to let you both know that you are in our thoughts and prayers on your journey. We hope and pray that you have a safe trip and that God will guide you on this remarkable life that you are about to enter of raising children. Sometimes Dale and I look at each other and laugh that we actually survived after raising four,"especially Blake." Not really, only kidding, but we would have missed out on so much and would not trade the experiences for the world. We love yaw and have you in our prayers, Judy and Dale Breckenridge
