Finally ours

Hello everyone, well we arrived at Kiragrad at 3am and headed for Novamirgrad. We arrived at our hotel around 4:30am just to take a nap. We got up at 7am because we had to leave by 8. We picked up the inspector then went to the boarding school. We signed a bunch of papers then we got Tanya, but that was just the beginning. We have been riding in the taxi for the last 9 hrs just running around doing paper work. Well we did get train tickets for tonight at 9pm. Olga really pushed to get things done today so we could go back to Gorlovka! David and I did get some books that teach english, they look good we'll see. We are looking forward to taking Tanya shopping. She brought a small suit case with her, a coat, hat and boats! We don't know what she has in her suit case we will look tomorrow once we get settled back into our apartment. Then we will pick her up some things. We are sitting in the train station where we will be for the next 2 1/2 hours. We did find out this is Tanya's first train trip! Hope she can handle it. We will miss Novamirgrad and Kirovagrad. We hope to visit some time in the future! Today is the beginning of a life filled with love and happiness for all of us. What was once a dream is now a reality, we are truly blessed! Have a great day God Bless!

  2. Wow! how surreal it must feel! I can't imagine having that type of dream coming to fruition-- how wonderful!
    It's hard for me, since I've not met them, but I am soooo anxious to! I hope that they know that their new auntie loves them!

    what a neat thing to be able to say: this is our daughter -- and know that she is!! emotionally and legally! and then on for the other daughter!! Coming home with a full family -- that noone can put asunder!!! committed...a family for better and for worse ... in sickness and in health ... FOREVER! waaaaaay coooool !!
