This is Vitaliy’s medical clearance form for adopting Paul.
I helped him by driving here and there picking up results, etc.
There are signatures from 6 doctors on this form, and the results of 2 tests (other tests were required for the doctors’ signatures).
It’s all great.
Love those stamps, too!
So official.
And now I have to do it, too.
Yup.

In the mail today I recieved a packet with two copies of Midwifery Today’s latest magazine. My doula birth in a Ukrainian birth house story was in it, as well as two articles by Denise Thompson, a midwife who’s attended births here as well.
I’m hoping we’ll get Ukraine “on the map” as far as birth [...]

The mall next to us is named “Magellan,” and this is where i go to sit and read my Bible, pray, read other books, study . . . almost every day.
The kids have a little nursery room they love to go to. This is Vika at the cubby hole area taking off her stuff.

At our home church in TN, my mom (lo, these many years ago) was instrumental in starting a ladies’ Bible study fondly called “MOMS.”
I love it, every time I’m home. Two hours of kid-free coffee, snacks, special speakers, Bible study, etc. It’s the marker of my week.
So, here I am, two small kids, and I [...]

She’s very talkative, [...]

Our two pastors and Fred Bennett from TITUS (our mission agency) laid hands on Vitaliy.
It was a very special and emotional service.
Fred Bennett gave the first challenge; he talked [...]
