Well, after over 30 hours at various airports and in three airplanes, Vova and I finally made it home. You can see video of our arrival on my facebook page. He was so excited towards the end. He kept asking me: "Pop, how many hours?". How many hours until we get home, that is. When we arrived at the Roanoke airport, close friends and family were waiting.
It has been quite a journey and I will be a better person for it. I wanted to thank all of those people who provided us financial and emotional support through the past 1 and 1/2 years. We were also blessed to meet so many wonderful families who were adopting from the Ukraine while we were, including our dear friends the Costanzas, the Rohrers, the Boldens, the Lewis's, the Ashtons and the Givens, who we met in the Kiev airport at 5:00 a.m. yesterday. It is an awesome fraternity to belong to and we are honored to be a part of it. If you have ever contemplated adoption, seriously consider it. There are many orphans out there who would love to have a home and family. Thanks for following us on our journey.
