Hello!
We are excited to share that the Home Study has in fact been finalized and paperwork has been turned in to the US government.  Now, we continue to compile our dossier, which is basically paperwork needed to turn into the Ukraine government that provides details about our family.  Our goal this week is to have that dossier completely done, or at least almost done.  After that...we wait!  We turn it in and we wait to see if we are approved to get Simon.  We are continuing to raise money.  Every little bit helps.  It is amazing to see how much support we have gotten from friends and from strangers.  Everything is for Simon.  We are counting the days for him to come home.  Oh yes, we are also going to begin learning the basics of the Ukrainian language so we can greet him for the first time and ask him, in his language, to come home with us to be our son.   That will be a big moment for our family.  We will report back soon to give an update!
