Oh yes, Kara is almost 5, I still think of her as 3, I know nearly two years have gone by since we saw her that first time in Vorzel, but it seems like only yesterday! I was browsing through some websites and found a link to our blog here:
http://www.ukraineorphans.net/id67.html I am happy we are linked for something good and not bad. I firmly believe that international adoption gives everyone a chance for happiness, both the family the little one is coming into and the child. We have been blessed by 6 children born to us, and adopton was no less miraculous to me! I am so grateful we took that first step despite all the fears we had. It was not easy task, we had to struggle a few times, but everytime I look at Kara (and Amanda) I afeel so grateful their countries allowed them to become our daughters.
