Six years ago today Scott and I had our appointment at the adoption center in Kiev Ukraine, where we saw the tiniest little picture of a tiny little girl who was destined to become ours. It is still one of the stranges experiences of my life to sit in a room at a table with a translater and an adoption center worker along with 2 other couples at 2 other tables and look through binders full of page protectors each containing a little information and a little picture of children available for adoption throughout the entire country, boys and girls, siblings, special needs young children and older children all somewhere living in an orphanage with just their basic needs being met and no one to love them and no one for them to call mom or dad. We did not spend hours there like some families, we did not look at picture after picture and feel our hearts break, we got lucky, an orphan girl got lucky and today those lucky people are a family. I wish I had requested her profile and/or profile picture. After deciding to go see this orphan girl at the Boyarka Baby house we exchange money and sent our faciitator and translater off to the world of paperwork to accomplish what needed to be done, while Scott and I marveled at how easy it had really been and help hope in our hearts that the child we had chosen was indeed ours. Isabella, it has been 6 years since we first layed eyes on your beautiful picture. My love for you today in unmeasurable. We are so glad you are ours.
Obese girl out
