Update

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to let everyone know the girls are doing Great! They act just like sisters! Since we have been home we found out Alina has Myasthenia gravis. The cause of Myasthenia gravis is a breakdown in the normal communication between the nerves and the muscles. There is no cure, but treatment can help relieve signs and symptoms. She is doing well for now. Prayers are needed for her though. I am very proud of the strenth that my girls have. Thank you to all who followed our journey. Summer is coming so we are sure the girls are in for a real treat! God Bless from the Quinnam's

Another night

Hellow friends, as I blogged earlier we will be spending another night in Kyiv. Delta has put us all up in a new hotel, which has a restaurant. I think we are the first customers! Delta also paid for our dinner and will pay for our breakfast. We have enjoyed talking with all the other American families. The bad news is our connecting flight is from NY to Reagan Natl. And its a later flight. 5 hour lay over we will arrive at 10:30pm friday the 13th. That's a good luck day no problems tomorrow! Also just a tid bit neither of our girls has ever spent the night in a hotel, so this is cool! So we will let you know if our plans change. God Bless!

Going home

Hello friends, we are happy to report that after 6 wonderful weeks we are coming home! We spent an hour at the embassy and received the girls visa's. This whole trip has been a wonderful experience that I would do again in the future! God has opened all the doors and we just walked through. Really the whole process was great. We have heard of many families that have been here since December and others since January. So we are very fortunate! Every adoption is different some have complications. We did not. Everyone was very helpful. I can't tell you enough how great our team was, so we want to say thank you to our facilitator Angelina, assistant Olga, Oksonya in Kyiv and our driver Nick also in Kyiv! I recommend them as your team if you are looking to adopt! Our adoptions happened so quickly because of all the hard work of our team! We would be more than happy to talk to anyone who has questions about the process. We want to thank our family and friends for e-mailing and calling us. Sometimes it got a little lonely. A big thank you to Mom and Dad for taking care of things while we were gone! My sister Jamie who is so excited about being an Aunt that she called us almost everyday and e-mailed everyday! Thank you Sis Julie and Mel for your constant e-mails and comments! Thank you all for your prayers. And most of all we thank the Lord for making our dreams come true and for being with us the whole time! Follow your dreams but remember to be patient. God's timing is purfect. Everything happens for a reason. God Bless! The Quinnam Family David, Freda, Alina and Tatyana
