The other update we've been waiting for...Dossier Submitted!

May 27, 2010 our dossier was submitted to the SDA (State Department of Adoptions) in Kiev, Ukraine. So hopefully we will get a travel date in roughly 10-14 days...and then actually travel a few weeks after that. Lots of different emotions going on all at once...with the biggest being "EXCITED".

Another comparison with a typical pregnancy and the adoption pregnancy is the "nesting stage". This past week I've been busy with swapping bedrooms for the boys to make one big toy room for Joey and Isaiah and all Noah's farm toys. Also deep cleaning and painting...all things I want done before Isaiah comes home.

After that I will have to start making lists for the babysitters for when we are gone.

Here is another picture of Isaiah that Michelle took yesterday at mealtime being fed by his nanny. She couldn't get him to look at the camera because he wanted his food.

  1. Congratulations, Steph! Just for comparison's sake, we submitted on June 1, got our travel date on June 10 for the SDA appointment on June 22nd. Can't believe it's been a year, and now it is YOUR turn. Praise God.

    That picture is so cute! He is so beautiful....can't wait to see pictures of you feeding him! Love, Paula

  3. Can't wait until you travel. Hopefully you will travel maybe be the end of June or beginning of July.

    I hope we will travel sometime in the fall. We are still working on our dossier. Some much paperwork and so little time.

    God Bless,
