Well here is the news you all have been waiting for. We are adopting three children, one girl and two boys. The youngest is Yana(Kailyn Elyse) and she is 2 years old. The youngest boy is Igor(Jacob Ethan) and he is 4 years old. The oldest boy is Illia(Jaryd Elijah) and he is 8 years old. Illia means Elijah. For those of you who remember Breanne’s dream. Breanne is our oldest daughter and she had a dream that Kailyn would have a brother and his name would be Elijah. Wow is God wonderful!!!!!!

We are in Kirovograd. We are about 3 ½ hours from Kyiv. We have already started the process to adopt. We hope to have court sometime around the 27th. If this is the way it works out we should be home sometime around the 15th of September.

Things are looking very good. We have a new apartment here in Kirovograd. It is very nice. The only bad thing is that we are on the 5th floor. No elevator.

Alyssa is very excited. She wants to know if we can bring home five of them. I don’t think that is advisable. I think three is enough. She doesn’t understand we have to wait a little while to be able to pick them up. She wants to pick them up now.

Yana(Kailyn) is potty trained. She probably only weighs about 15 pounds. I think she probably wears a size 12 months. Possibly 18 months, but no larger. Igor(Jacob) probably wears a size 4T or 5T. He is very thin but about three inches taller than Alyssa.
Illia(Jaryd) I am not sure what size yet. I am not up to date on those sizes. I will check on that.


Kailyn’s hair is very blonde. This tends to look a little brown. She has brown eyes.
Jacob’s hair is also blonde and he also has brown eyes.

Jaryd’s hair is very blonde and he has green eyes. He is also very shy.
