WE ARE FAMILY


Five years ago today a Ukrainian Judge delared Scott and I Bella's parents and we became a family of 3. We actually did not get custody of Bella until the 15th because we had so much running around to do getting all the necessary documents in order including a new birth certificate from her birth city, Billa Tserkva. We were so busy on this day 5 years ago that we did not even make it to the orphanage to see Bella that day. I remember being relieved that the day was over and excitied about bringing Bella home to America and to a waiting family. I am trying to hold onto that feeling today as our morning was less than stellar. Happy Gotcha day, Isabella!
