One year ago today, I took the boys from a life that they will never have to return to again. Thank You Lord for Mason and Micah! Here is my post about that day a year ago!
GiG Day!
Sorry-but I have tried everything to fix this one. The boys were telling Ira bye. She was our facilitator the whole time in Berdyansk. It was very sad leaving her-she loves what she does.
Outside of Orphanage leaving for GOOD!!!
Where Ira and I sat for 4 1/2 hours for birth certificates
Village where boys were born
God Is Good Day!
YES! I have the boys but I have been without internet since we returned to Kyiv to finish waiting for all the remaining stuff with adoptions. I picked the boys up on Thursday morning at around 9:00a.m. Everything went pretty smooth as I checked them out with I think everyone in the region. The Preschool Director watched me as I dressed the boys and questioned me about everything along the way. Like I didn't know how to dress them or I was going to take the orphanages clothes. I am sure she was making sure that I was going to take good care of them. The boys were brought to us and we weren't able to tell everyone bye except for the office people. The director did give me the orpahnages website and asked me to keep in touch. She also gave the boys and myself lots of goodbye hugs and kisses and Thanked me for adopting them and Papa to in America. There is alot to post but I am a little tired and I need to sleep when the boys sleep so I will try to remember to post more. I will say that we finished our day in the boys region with snow, ice and frozen roads. I had never seen a frozen lake but I did that day.
The boys are doing fine and only had a few meltdowns. I keep getting asked about America-I do believe they are ready to get home.
We are calling the day that we got the boys from the orphanage "GiG Day"(God is good) because God has been way beyond good to us everyday of this journey!!! January 6th will always be a day that our family celebrates Mason and Micah becoming an Albritton.
I have posted pictures of the day. Please continue to keep us in your prayers and Thank You again for doing so!!!
