Oscar and Kate, BFFs from the old country.
We were really lucky to meet Helen and Dave when we were in Ukraine. They were a few weeks ahead of us in the process of adopting their son Oscar. We spent a lot of time with them in Kiev and became great friends. As luck would have it, Oscar is only a couple months older than Kate and Helen and Dave only live about half an hour away.
Hi. In 2010 we traveled to Ukraine to adopt a child. This blog was a chronicle intended for our families and friends but I've left it on-line for anyone else who may find our experiences useful.
"Ivan" was the "working title" we started using for our prospective child. Our adoption process took twice the time we were told it would so we were trying to free Katerina from the isolation of an institutional orphanage to our family. And we were trying to get ourselves back home too.
