YES!!!! That's right...that's the date we will meet with the SDA to get to go meet our sons to be forever!! We finally got it! Our Facilitator (capitalized for a reason!) was amazing...His timing is always perfect as it was today. My friend, Jen, and I had just finished praying together when my phone buzzed with the news! Our earthly facilitator was pretty awesome as well. We could not have done it without either one. We are thrilled for this news that has come after 10 long months of praying and waiting. The suffering was long, but definitely worth it. Rick, Charlie, Andrew and I have grown so much over these past months. We are definitely stronger than we were 10 months ago. We are now ready for Taras and Bogdan. We know God has been working in their lives too, to prepare us for each other. We can't wait to put our arms around them and love them....forever more! Thanks to all those who prayed for us. We are forever grateful to you for your prayers. Please keep them coming...the process has just begun...some of the hardest trials are yet to come...in Ukraine! Love to all...and, please, keep praying!
