GOOD NEWS!!!!!
JUNE 17 
"I will lead the blind in a way that they do not know, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I do, and I do not forsake them." Isaiah 42:16
God is so good! After a frustrating day on Wednesday, we were still able to send our dossier to Ukraine yesterday at 3:30!!!! It is such a relief and we are so excited to have finally sent it off. We were able to get all the documents notarized and certified correctly and then we went to FedEx Kinkos and mailed it all off. YEAH!!! 
Now we must begin the season of waiting. Once our dossier gets to our Lifeline contact, he will translate it and submit it to the National Adoption Center (NAC) where they keep a database of available children. Once they get it, they will begin to look for a child to refer us to. Then they will contact us with a travel date. We are still hoping and praying that we will be able to travel to Ukraine in September or October. Please pray with us that our dossier will arrive safely and get submitted to NAC quickly.
We leave for Colorado tomorrow to go take seminary classes through Campus Crusade. We will be gone for about 5 weeks. We will continue to update if anything happens...but until then...THANK YOU and please pray for us as we wait to hear about our travel date to Ukriane!
