GOTCHA!!

Hello Everyone...

We had our court appearance today, Monday April 13, 2009 and were officially named the parents of Nicholas Alexander Aronin. We were also blessed enough to get the 10 day holding period waived. If the 10 day hold was not waived could not have done any more paperwork until this time expired....since it was waived we can now proceed with getting the required documents, such has his passport and medical clearances. Once we get his passport we can go back to Kiev and go to the U.S. Embassy for his travel visa!!

So..to sum things up...we became parents today and the sooner we get all the required documents the sooner we can come home!!!

Unfortunately we are not able to post any pictures today since the Interent Cafe is very busy and we were unable to plug in our own computer which has the photos on it...we will hopefully be able to post some pictures tomorrow....

Please keep the positive vibes and prayers coming towards Ukraine for our quick and safe travels home!

Love ya!
Richard, Lisa & Nicholas

Awesome! Congratulations! I will never forget Joshah's adoption day, it was an exciting experience. Does Nicholas get to stay with you at the apartment now or will he stay in the children's home until you return to Kiev? We are super excited for you!!!!!

You're no longer Lisa and Richard - you're mommy and daddy! I'm so excited! I can't wait to meet Nicholas; he's got to be one of the luckiest little boys on the planet to have you two as his parents!
