Picking of the pieces

Today we spent picking up the pieces after a tornado. Our family was lucky we all survived this storm, a few toys outside blow away a swing set destroyed and limbs every where. These things can be replaced little by little. Limbs can be cut up to be carried away on trash day.

The day before the storm by daughter took in 3 cats and 17 kittens abandoned. if they had remained out in this storm they would have all died. Over the weekend two of the runt kittens earn their wings . And during this storm a little girl Carly earned her wings also.

Sweet little Carly earned her little wings Saturday Morning. Please say a prayer for her family.

Father's Day

With everything happening I did not know what day it was. Whether it was Saturday or Sunday. Sitting calculating funds and mark off the day till Wednesday. The day we find out about our children's passports. Our Gotcha Day was rushed. What was suppose to start with paperwork on a Monday went to Wednesday which caused us delays getting home. The system here is totally a mess. They deliver passports only one day a week to Donetsk. Then they will be forwarded to Kiev. Even expedited they are delayed. A country of unexpected issues or problems. Children lay dying when families are available. Funds stand in the way even when a family saves for 5 years still they are short. Without the love and support of others. Being short of funds not just my biggest worries. Children at home needing their mom. A young boy who had been through so much anger and abuse. Eleven years to work on. Erasing the nightmares of prior medica...

The Sea

We are now in our children's city close to the sea. A 8 hour express train ride and another 5 hours by car. Today the kids decided to swim between the many hours of chasing paperwork. Me I slept and soak in a little sun. Patrick and Christian

One day closer to coming home

After arriving in Kiev we went right to bed. Between moving quickly from one plane to another then a 30 minute ride to our hotel. With the time difference we had to rest once arriving. Being up over 26 hours we were exhausted. Prior to leaving the US I had to visit my doctor. Not any good news to share. Only some complications had arrised. Staying with Jake a week at the hospital and him checking out the day prior I had to have another check up myself. Unfortunately my cancer has spread. Problems now with blood pressure, thyroid disease and diabetes. Being placed on news meds prior to travel is not working out to well. It was awful arriving in Kiev sitting in a wheel chair. Niko met us and drove us to get Greyson's birth records. It was a 4 hour drive there n back We waited 3 hours to have it printed. Greyson's birth Certificate So much left to do. Tomorrow we head to Mauripol.
