Finally, we are getting this blog set up so we can share all of our adoption ups and downs with all of you who are apparently very interested, and so supportive!  Since this is our first attempt at 'blogging', we can't make any promises as to how often we will be able to update the happenings, but we will do our best to keep the information flowing freely. 

Sincerely, thanks to all who have offered help in so many ways - writing letters of recommendation for our homestudy, helping with travel arrangements, donating toys and necessities for the Awakening orphans . . . we are soooooo blessed to have each of you care about us, and you are all part of our 'forever family'.

Well, the countdown has begun.  Our April 30th departure to Ukraine to visit the orphanage is less than a week away!  Aside from the harried last-minute chaos of preparing for our first trip off the continent, we have to pinch ourselves sometimes as a reminder that we will be MEETING OUR CHILDREN for the first time in only a few days! TRULY AMAZING!  We know that all of the kids are planning for our arrival, but of course we are especially eager to meet our sunshine, Vika.  We are also praying that the Lord will guide our hearts to another child at Awakening that He would also have us bring into our family through adoption.  We are faithfully preparing our hearts, lives, and home to receive two children from Awakening Orphanage in Ukraine.

Please, please pray that we will have a safe and blessed trip, and we will keep the Kirk Adoption Chronicles in print.

Blessings to You,

Doug & Stephanie
