Sabina @ home Finally.......................And..... she's out...... what a long journey so glad to have her HOME.

SHE' HOME..... Will post pictures soon

what a small world

I got a email this morning from a lady who was in Kustanai over the summer and at the baby house Sabina is at. Anyways she came across our blog and realized she spent allot of time with Sabina and her group while she was there helping build a play area for the kids. So she emailed me pictures of Sabina from last summer. I just wanted to share them with you all. It is very unusual to have pictures of your child you are adopting before they are yours. So i really appreciate what this lady did. Also just an FYI Sabina will be home in the morning of March 6th. We will be picking her up at the GR airport and bring her home. If anyone want to stop by feel free we will home. We can't wait to see her again. Talk to you soon.

Update

Just wanted to update you guys on what is going on. Sabina is now legally ours as of Feb 9th. They have started the paperwork over there to get her home. We are hoping she will be coming home March 6th or sooner. We can't wait to pick her up at the airport. She is very missed. Nothing new is really going on here at home. Just working and catching up on stuff. I will let you all know when we have a date for sure. Also mark your calendars we are having a Sabina party at my parents on March 28th. Further details will be coming later.
Love

WE ARE HOME

We have arrived home safe. Our flight back went good, everything was on time and we arrived into Grand Rapids 20 minutes early. It has been a couple busy days since we got back. We jumped right back into work and we are trying to get Caden back on our schedule. He was very glad to see his mom and dad. Our computer is down right now so i am writing from my dad's house. We will keep you all posted on when Sabina will be coming home. Again thank you all again for your love and support.
Love Beckie and Brian

We have started our departure

Yesterday we left the orphanage area of Kustanai. We had to fly to Almaty for two days. Our flight from Almaty to Frankfort leaves Sunday at 420am. We will be arriving into Grand Rapids around 340pm Sunday afternoon pending weather hold up. We are sitting here in the lobby of the hotel having a drink. We have all day today doing nothing. We walked around town for a few hours. Our feet are killing us since we really havent been walking or doing a whole lot for the past 6 weeks. Leaving Sabina was very hard as she has found a place in our hearts. We knew leaving her that she was in really good hands with her caregivers. They care for her and really watch out for her. She will be coming home at the end of Febuary. Well we are heading to lunch so we will talk to you all when we get home. Thank you all for your love and suport through this whole process.
Love Brian and Beckie
