Hi there. Our names are Oleg and Nataliya, we were born in Odessa, Ukraine and immigrated to upstate NY in 1996. We are high school sweethearts and have been married for 21 years. We have 2 wonderful bio kids - 20-year old son Alex and a 6-year old daughter Victoria. We started our international adoption journey in September 2006, and in January 2008 we finally brought home our 10 (now 11)-year daughter Rachel from our hometown Odessa in Ukraine.

Happy Birthday Alex!!
Happy Birthday to "your Alex"! can't believe mine will be 20 in May!! incredible photos, loved them!
Happy Birthday Alex!!! Where does the time go?!
Beautiful Boy! Very Ukrainian looking too!! :)
My personal luxury item was a small travel pillow because I am a pillow snob!! It was also useful in the long travels as well for the planes and trains.
Nataliya,
What a handsome young man! Happy birthday Alex!
Loved seeing the pictures from birth until now. Great fun. Enjoy this special day.
Happy Birthday, Alex!
Nataliya,
In regard to your earlier post about things to take to Ukraine, I agree with everything except the idea that ATM's are dangerous. We've used them often on this trip with no problems. However, you must inform your card issuer that you will be in Ukraine, otherwise your card will not work.

I suppose you already know this but Wow! What a strikingly good-looking guy he is!
I love the picture with the piano. That would look good in a great big frame. Really cool pic.
Happy Birthday, Alex!
Happy birthday to Alex, and congratuations to you, Natalia! Any mom of a 19-year old who looks like you do, should celebrate herself today!!!! Kelly (Vladik's mom-to-be)
You have such a beautiful family and the love you have for each other is so expressed in all these pics.
My girls are quite taken with your handsome lad!
Happy birthday Alex!
You don't look old enough to have a 19 year old. ;)
He sure is handsome and tell him Happy Birthday for the hundredth time. :)
Good heavens! I want my daughter to meet your son! He is adorable and so well-rounded. You should be very proud.
