We have a couple of mutual friends. Anxiously awaiting, we hope, a smooth final few days of your journey, and an easy trip home. Reading your blog brings back memories of our own trips. Hoping to meet handsome Aaron one of these days.

I think that it really is super-human for anyone to have as long an adoption journey as you guys have (as well as others adopting from the Ukraine). May God reward you with many blessings!<br /><br />It looks like Aaron is benefiting from your steady visits. Lots of smiles, bonding, and physical therapy, too! I can't wait to see how family life and medical care well help Aaron to blossom at home!<br /><br />With prayers,<br />LoriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-85071382032857087102010-09-19T18:47:20.484-04:002010-09-19T18:47:20.484-04:00Congratulations on the official first day!

I'm praying that the paperwork goes smoothly with no glitches or setbacks! I'm also praying that Aaron will be able to handle any necessary separations during the proscess (and that the separations will be few and as short as possible!). Keep up your courage -- you're almost done! Soon you will all be home together!<br /><br />God Bless,<br /><br />Pam K<br />CaliforniaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-21780625511022723952010-09-19T17:21:34.691-04:002010-09-19T17:21:34.691-04:00Julia, I have been thinking of you all morning and...Julia, I have been thinking of you all morning and I have a verse for you.<br /><br />Exodus 14: 13, 14<br /> Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. 14 The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still." <br /><br />You are leading Aaron out of bondage and you have been up against some very large obstacles. Be still and be confident that the Lord will be doing the fighting for you!!!

We continue praying for you, and there are LOTS of prayers being offered up for Elijah and Ben. I can't even imagine how tough this is on them.<br /><br />Also, I'm sure you know this, but UVA has a pediatric program for children of foreign adoptions. Helps with everything from making sure kids have the right vaccinations, to helping to deal with adjustment, communication and other problems. It was started by physicians who had adopted from out of the country, and is an excellent resource.<br /><br />SandyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-70374800153854740142010-09-19T08:37:01.612-04:002010-09-19T08:37:01.612-04:00Praying for your boys at home.

I know nothing about my home village or country. I see you've been taking pictures and blogging during your time there but I think you have an awesome opportunity to learn about the area where Aaron was born. As busy and stressful as travel will be, I feel it's critical that you make as many notes and take as many pictures as possible when you go to Aaron's village. That way you'll have more answers to questions he may ask than my own parents did.<br /><br />Take care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
