Saturday April 4, 2009

We have now visited the boy two times and he is a very sweet, smart, happy and outgoing little boy. He has some minor issues when walking, but this can be worked on with physical therapy..

We have been in contact with our Doctor's in the U.S. and are consulting them by providing all of the medical background we have been shown.

During today's visit we met two other couples from the U.S.....one from Michigan and one from Virginia....we hope to exchange emails with them.

We are taking loads of pictures of the region and the child, but cannot post them yet.

The name of the region is Zaporizhzhya....find it on your maps for extra credit....

We drove here from Kiev...it took about 6 hours and we got to drive right through Kremenchuke (SP??)....that region should sound familiar to some of you...

We are staying in a 3 bedroom apartment with our Translator (Natasha), Facilitator (Svetlana) and our Driver (Aleks)......FYI....a 3 bedroom apartment does not mean 3 bedrooms.....it just means there are 3 sleeping surfaces in the apartment...fun fun fun...

More info later...

Love to you all
Richard and Lisa

That is great news! We know that you were looking for a girl but there is a reason for everything. We couldn't be any more excited for you! Well, maybe your dogs can. Keep us informed and we will keep you in our prayers. TF

You two are so amazing! I know you are in God's favor, so whatever happens will happen in the way it is meant to... I looked up Zaporizhzhya on the map... I've posted some new photos from around the house on my facebook if you have the time to check them out. Love ya! :o)
