God works in amazing ways...
We wanted to return to Ukraine to adopt again so our children would have a common background in their country of birth. Little did we know, God was planning for more than that.
Just a couple of weeks ago, we had an appointment at the SDA and accepted the referral for a beautiful brown-haired, brown-eyed 5 1/2 year old boy from the Donetsk region, in the city of Mariupol.
The boys are from different orphanages. But same city, and brought into our family at almost exactly the same age.
If you've payed REALLY close attention, you might have noticed that many of the pictures we've posted in our apartment and in the city are almost identical to our last adoption.

That's right - we're also staying in the exact same apartment as our last adoption! It's nice to be in a familiar place, and to know where things are. It's been great to explore the city more this time around since the weather is so much nicer.
Stay tuned as we continue to update during the 10 day wait!

I knew it!
I am so excited for you guys!!!
Its so very cool the way things work out.
ARE THEY COUSINS??? That would be cool....
I did not pick up on the pictures. How neat to be able to be back in the same apartment, not to mention the same city.
Congratulation on your second little Ukraine blessing. I am still praying for you and yours.

Jennifer,
Will you send me your email address? I have a question about one of the children on Charissa's website. Or, if you had rather....send me a way to contact Charissa. I have never contacted her before. I kindly feel like I know you. I would like to see if a particular child is available.

How wonderful! I will have to look back at your pictures to see if this is the same internat that the girls we hosted are from. :)
If so, we know an amazing lady you may want to get in contact with!

That is SO cool!
It appears from looking at the pictures that the hot water kettle on the stove is exactly the same in both pictures. Awesome.
