Time to share

Okay....we got some other opinions, and the not sharing pictures until after the court hearing (2-3 weeks away) is more superstition than anything else. So, we would like to share some photos of our daughter-to-be.............Svetlana. Paper work is already in progress, we are just praying for a smooth road to the courts.

You will see also the director of the orphanage in the one picture with all of us...please note that adult Ukranians usually do not smile in pictures, so please know she is usually smiling all the time and has been extremely warm and friendly and helpful to us.
There are 11 pictures as follows:

These are from the second day we met her. We went to take pictures of her to take to her sister to see if that would make and difference with the director there. We already knew at that point that God had led us here though.


These are from her 'graduation' school show (nice Birthday present for Suzanne - eh?)



These are from the square in Poltava a couple of blocks from our apartment










These are just playtime with her
