I began this blog to chronicle our 3 1/2 year journey toward adoption and building a new house in the meantime!
We began this adoption believing our child was in Russia. We traveled to Russia and met a 13 month old girl named Viktoria. We waited 18 months for a court date to return to adopt her but learned July 23, 2007 that a Russian family adopted her instead while we were waiting. A year later, we were hugely surprised when we got a call that a baby boy was about to be born in the hospital 1.4 miles down the road from our new house and I was able to be in the delivery room when he was born July 29, 2008! If you are interested in reading the first part of our story, you can visit http://RussianAdoptionDva.blogspot.com
Today this blog has become more about our everyday life as a regular everyday family. It took a while to get here, but boy am I glad we're all home now!
