On March 26, 2009 I contacted Cathy at Ukrainian Angels in hopes of getting more information on adopting independently from Ukraine. I came across her website after much prayer and searching for the way that God had for us regarding adoption. God is so good and it is about his timing for our lives. I couldn't believe what I was reading when Cathy responded with the details. We could do this independently and it would be within our budget. We were in, well I was. I knew that Gary would be a little skeptical and that was ok. I needed his comman sense and level head to make the right choices. I gave him the details little by little so that he could take it all in. Gary wasn't very happy with the thought of being away from home for up to 5 weeks and so it took some time to convince him of how strongly I believed that this was God's plan for us. It was not that he didn't want to adopt but that this was just not the conventional way of adopting. He knew, though, how much time I had spent researching adoption in the United States and all the information I had collected from adoption agencies concerning international adoption. The cost was always a big factor for us and now time was becoming a factor as well because of our ages. So we decided it was now or never and we could do this.
