I realized I hadn’t updated here recently about our adoption. If you follow me on Instagram, you already know.

Our dossier is DONE. We shipped it to Ukraine a couple of weeks ago. However, we did need to redo a few pages. We have all of these changes taken care of as well and now we are just waiting for our dossier to be submitted.

This process didn’t happen quite as quickly as we’d hoped. We were hoping to make our first trip before the end of the year, but that will not happen now.

However, some friends reached out as they were planning their year-end giving and asked about helping with our adoption. I told them that our bigger need was to bring Luda here for Christmas via hosting. They said they’d take care of the whole entire hosting fee. WHOA.

So, Luda is coming for Christmas. We’re all SO excited. Even though it’s only temporary, we are looking forward to be all together. In just a few weeks, she’ll be here!

We also currently have a matching grant. If we raise $2750, it will be matched, for a total of $5500. We have about $1500 left to go. Can you help? Donations can be made here.
