Intro

The journey started on February 16th 2005, Paul and Elisabeth announced that they were going to adopt a child. This was wonderful news, and the whole family was very excited. It has now been over two years of a roller coaster ride of paper work; fingerprints, medical records, work references, social workers reports and bank balances. The Paperwork is only good for a year, so in result it had to be updated twice. Then Ukraine closed its adoption program down for the whole of 2006, and so it was with excitement that we celebrated the arrival of 2007. Now all the paper work is at last correct and we have been given a date to be in Ukraine to start the process of adopting a little girl between the age of one to three. Paul's mother Pat, will be joining them on this adventure, while his father Ken, and Elisabeth's parents Sue and Rick, will looking after the home front.
