We are in the airport in Tampa about to board for our first flight of three to Ukraine. We have had an outpouring of love and support from our brothers and sisters in Christ!  It has been truly incredible. We are so thankful for all of our friends and family that are willing, even anxious to help us. We are thankful for our three biological children that we are blessed to watch grow up -- all too quickly. We are confident and comfortable that they will be perfectly fine whir we are away. They are a huge help to us in our everyday lives. We know they will be a support to each other and to their caregivers (family and friends). We are blessed. Thank you Lord Jesus.

The quote of the evening from Valerie that will sum up our thoughts and feelings at this moment...  "I miss my little people already."

God bless them and keep them happy, healthy and safe. We will be home soon!
