Preparing for our trip.

Hi, my name is Nancy and boy have I really had a hard time trying to create this blog! I have not used a computer for like 12 years and oh boy have times changed!
We have our appointment on Feb-7-2008 and we are getting ready for our trip. There seem to be so many things to do but I know that at the end everything gets done and all will be fine. This is actually our third adoption. We adopted Ashley now 8 here in the U.S. in 1999. Then in 2004 we traveled to Russia and adopted Irina now 6 and Agelica 4. The adoption in Russia was quite an adventure. It was like a remake of Doctor Zhivago with less drama of course. We found ourselves at 10:00P.M. in a weather of 19 below zero waiting for the Syberian Express. The wind was so strong that we had to walk backwards because we could not breathe, but at the end it was all worth it because we brought home the 2 most beautiful girls in the world.
We are looking forward to meeting our two little angels from Ukraine Nastya whom I beleive we will name Natalia and Lizzie. I feel blessed to be able to help this children that give us such joy.
I have learned that in life the things that we cherish the most do not come easy but it is this that makes us really appreciate the beauty within.
