We leave

Well, we think we are ready. We are almost packed with only 7 bags and 4 carry-ons (ha), we have details worked out for the care of our home, our dogs are with the bestest brother and sister in the world :), and many of our family and friends are on Skype ready to play with it with us! We arrive in Kiev Thursday evening.

David and I are having some sinus troubles, but nothing some meds and sleep won't help, I'm sure. Over the past weekend, we had the opportunity to hang out with some of our friends and eat some great crawfish and at church our friends prayed over us (more than once) and we feel so confident knowing that they are going out on our behalf to the throne of our Lord! The boys are having mixed emotions about leaving, and frankly, so are we. We are about to leave our little life for the unknown for who knows how long. But we know that God goes before us and He is our rock and our shield. We are definitely excited about this adventure.

We will try to blog about the details as much as we can. We look forward to sharing our adoption with you.

I will be reading and praying for the Dunham family! Love you all so much! Praise be to God. His plans are the best by far.

I just found your blog through the Pretre's blog. We are also adopting from Ukraine and our dossier was supposed to be submitted today. Haven't gotten the confirmation yet, but we were scheduled for 9:20am UA time. We are also Christians and you sound so much like us. I am going to go read some more of your blog now to catch up on your family. :)
