We adopted from Ukraine in 2007 and had a great experience. We came home with a son who was so obviously chosen by God for our family (he was 5 when adopted, and is now 7 years old). And we love Ukraine, its culture, its people. In fact, we are now in the process of adopting from there again! Praying for your journey and for sweet Aaron!<br /><br />Jenn<br />http://littleboydove.blogspot.comZack, Jenn and Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04535671976007119533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-54779878228520079422010-01-15T06:42:33.658-05:002010-01-15T06:42:33.658-05:00Ohhh I am sooooo excited to read this.

Our blog lays out our experience adopting Mary, who was a Reeces Rainbow other angel as well. She had turned 5 and was in imminent danger of instiutionalization. She has been home just over a year now, and we still sit back in "wow!" at all God did to bring her home. It was an adventure of faith like none other, and continues to be. We commit to pray for you as you journey to your son, and will support in any way we can.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11953038703407913981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-20379158896288352812010-01-10T14:33:33.107-05:002010-01-10T14:33:33.107-05:00Congratulations!

Your adoption to Ukraine will be helped by a wonderful RR staff, primarily Meredith, who has adopted two little ones from there. There are MANY people that have adopted from Ukraine on the RR group, so you will have much support along the way. And how can you fail? You have God and Molly on your side!!!June Bergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611299565251107517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-5122676781293672332010-01-10T12:04:05.219-05:002010-01-10T12:04:05.219-05:00Congratulations on your decision to bring Aaron ho...Congratulations on your decision to bring Aaron home! We have also been advocating and praying for him since the moment he was listed on Reeces Rainbow and we were overjoyed to see that his family had finally found him! <br /><br />Our oldest son, Evan (adopted from Ukraine in 2007), also has arthrogryposis. There is a WONDERFUL support group at http://amcsupport.org . There you will find HUNDREDS of individuals and families effected by AMC. It is an incredible source of information and support and they will become like family. If you ever have any questions about raising a child with arthrogryposis, please don't hesitate to contact us (valerie@avitria.com). <br /><br />Congratulations again! We are so excited to see Aaron come home to your wonderful family and we will continue to pray for you and him as you journey to bring him home! <br /><br />Hugs, <br />Valerie <br />http://perfectlyable.blogspot.com<br />http://fromthetrenchesofadoption.blogspot.comValeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03987291624351470885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-24086928955322908612010-01-10T09:27:56.521-05:002010-01-10T09:27:56.521-05:00Congrats!!

My husband and I completed a Ukraine adoption last fall and it really wasn't that hard at all, in fact, it was quite a bit simpler, easier, and more comfortable than the 3 Russian adoptions I'd done previously! We are hoping to go back one more time, and we are pretty stuck on making sure that it's Ukraine again!! <br /><br />There are families that struggle, but I've heard families that struggle not only in Ukraine, but Russia, China, Korea, India, Thailand, etc. Remember though, that MOST of the families that adopt don't have ANY trouble at all!! <br /><br />If God brought you to Aaron (and it sounds as if He did!!) then you should just sit back, and enjoy the process as much as you can. Aaron's time is precious, being where he is, but you can get it done!! And I'd think you could go before the end of summer if everything goes well...<br /><br />You have several hundreds of friends at RR cheering you on and will do whatever it takes to help you!! You are adopting a VERY special little boy!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />Missy<br />wwwourfamilybouquet.blogspot.comMissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04267667592744200477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-72401864527392099542010-01-09T21:43:59.378-05:002010-01-09T21:43:59.378-05:00Thank you for listening to your heart!

We travel in 2 weeks to Ukraine to get our little Hunter, we are with Reeces Rainbow also. So, welcome to 'the family' and I'll pray for your journey to your new son!<br /><br />Jodi LewandoskiJodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665816593780393953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-38019678709172764632010-01-09T21:19:22.751-05:002010-01-09T21:19:22.751-05:00Julia, I have chills!! I will do everything in my ...Julia, I have chills!! I will do everything in my power to raise this money with you! I know that your family can do this! My little sister is starting a Reece's Rainbow club at her High School to raise money for Aaron, and now for your family. I'm not sure how we will raise the money, but we will do this. <br /><br />Thank you for being his miracle. I panicked when I saw he was transferred. I actually sat in my dorm room and cried. I look at his face and I cannot imagine him sitting in his crib for the rest of his life. Little does he know that today his life has changed. That today, there's a family in America fighting to bring him home. I have full faith that you can do this and that he'll be home with you this time next year. <br /><br />I too have had many nights where I just sat and looked at Aaron's face. He's my computer background and my cell phone background and he's on my wall with all of the other RR babies. I knew that if he never found a home it would haunt me forever. Sometime after Christmas I got very calm about it, I just had a feeling that he would find his family before the end of the month. This happened around the same time you found him.<br /><br />I just told my sister how much money you need to get him home and she said "We can do it!" and my mom said "Totally!". So thank you for being his forever family, and like I said, we're going to raise this money together! He will be home with you!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881590483174001768noreply@blogger.com
