You gave her life back to her... amazing!!! In the photo of the two of you, there is a look of peaceful contentment in her eyes. It shows... she knows she has been saved and she knows she is loved. Love following your blog! GOD Bless You all.

I am absolutely happy for your family and I cannot wait to meet her. This will be the best Buddy Walk ever!!!! Hopefully soon we will have good news about our Yana. I cannot wait to get my three angels with your two. Let me tell you, my boys are pretty handsome :) Take care and have a wonderful time with your beautiful little girl!!
ReplyDeleteYou have to look at my facebook buddy walk pictures :) I just was looking through them and realized I have a picture of Miss B! I knew I knew you guys :)
ReplyDeleteGoosebumps!!!! Oh, Lisa, those are beautiful! Such an amazing smile... and to think of all the previous photos of Alina - you have truly lit up her life!
ReplyDelete...and this is just the beginning, your love will take her to places she never would have known without it. Thank you God that Alina is with you...you can just see what a precious little soul she is in these pictures.
ReplyDeleteI missed checking here for a couple of days just to see that you already have her! Oh my that was fast! They must have waived the 10 days, how wonderful!
ReplyDeletepaperwork in Kiev should only take you one day, unless they take it easy on you if you can't fly out yet. As you enjoy the blossoms though, do make sure you go to that central garden in Kiev (cannot remember the name right now) it should be beautiful!
Hey, Lisa, I am the first-time commenter here. Your daughter looks so much like you! That smile and elegance!.. Absolutely YOUR biological child!
ReplyDeleteI am amazed how your journey shapes up my life. Though my son is 4 months old now, I cannot get rid of the thought that MY CHILD IS WAITING FOR ME in the orphanage.
Best wishes for your family! Great blog, great job, perfect life!
Hi! We were supposed to get our visa today but I guess it is now not ready until tomorrow. We are supposed to leave Thursday morning so I will be curious to see if your flight is on schedule. Are you flying through frankfurt? I really really hope we can get out! Are you close to where we are staying? We could meet somewhere for dinner. Let me know spbasile@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for your family and the new life you have given Alina. We are contemplating adoption through RR and have fallen in love with one particular little boy in Ukraine. How did you raise funds so quickly? Do you have any suggestions for us? We have not made any committment yet because the cost of the adoption process is a bit daunting. Any suggestions would be great. I know you are very busy, so whenever you get a chance that would be encouraging to hear how you dealt with the cost.

I am sooooo HAPPY for her! And for you! Love, a BEAUTIFUL thing!
ReplyDeleteShe is amazing! I can't wait to met her...now Dylan will have two lovely ladies to take to prom;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully happy ending!! Or is it just the beginning? Can't wait to see how the other kids love her!
