The day has come: we are leaving tomorrow! Suitcases are packed, major items on the "to-do" list are checked off, detailed instructions for Alex, Victoria and my Mom are written down, and I'm ready to wear my high-heeled boots - it will be interesting to see whether I can still blend in... This is it!
Yesterday was a very special last day at work for both Oleg and myself. We received so many good wishes and kind words of support and encouragement that we feel much better knowing how many people keep us in their thoughts and prayers. Of course, Oleg thinks his co-workers are the best. But I’ll tell you a little secret – my co-workers take the first place :) We love you, guys!
Our next post will be from Kiev!

Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea!!!!!
It's finally time!
I'm so excited for you. I can't wait to hear all about it. We'll be praying for safe travel and an easy time at the SDA.
((hugs))
Bon Voyage to you both and try and relax, rest and sleep on the flight over.
It will be exciting for you to be back in the Ukraine and hearing only your native tongue. Yes, you will blend in.
Can't wait to read your blogs from there.
YEA!!! Enjoy your time back in Ukraine. We'll be following your journey.
I hope your travel is safe and uneventful. I can't wait to follow your journey. You will be in my prayers as you travel and bring Raisa home.
Thanks for all your words of encouragement thus far. Here's a hug to send you on your way!
So excited for you! Don't forget those boots!
Are you kidding? You'll fit right in. Us poor struggling Americans trying to learn Russian are another story! LOL
You'll probably end up helping other adoptive parents since you are fluid in both (or maybe 3?) languages.
Have a safe trip! I'm looking forward to following your journey. We'll be 3 weeks (to the day) behind you.
As I type this, you and your husband are doing the last minute packing and very excited. I hope you are able to sleep tonight.
Have a fabulous flight!!! Godspeed!
Woohoo!! Can't wait to hear from you guys from Ukraine!! I'm still hoping we'll get to meet up depending on where we are. :)
We can't wait to hear about your journey!
God Bless, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Looking forward to reading the next post and oh, I want to see the snow :) Worse for us was just cold rain and flooded streets ;)
I'm so glad you posted all the Ukrainian adoption blogs on your site. I come here often to check out what lies ahead for us! (Hopefully in the next few weeks). Enjoy your daughter!
OOPS! I meant to say 'fluent'. Oh well, I got the first three letters right. It must be all this packing going to my head!

Our whole family is so excited for you and can't wait to follow you on this amazing mission.
With all our love and prayers for a joyful and unforgettable journey back to your homeland.
