I am also overwhelmed with the tedious details, like finding boots that are somewhere near feminine that are also warm and comfortable. This is what I came up with. Jake thinks they're embarrassing. He might be right. Anyway, everyone I talk to sees how distracted I am, and I'm forgetting appoitnments and the details of life right and left while in the midst of the trip-preparation swirl.
Mainly this week, I'm thankful. We put out this website 2 weeks ago, www.savevadim.com in order to fill family and friends in about our decision to adopt, and to ask for help. We've just been amazed by the response. We've raised the money we were short in order to go get him and somehow not rack up thousands in credit card debt. I was so hesitant about asking for help, but I do now believe that more than the money, it was just a gift to see so many people care and want to be a part of what we're doing. Asking for help moved this adventure from something that Todd and Robin are doing, to something that God is doing through a big bunch of people who want to spread the love.

I love the boots!
Good luck. We will take good care of Jake. Don't worry too much.
Can't wait until you are back with Vadim in tow!
Love you!
The boots look very Ukrainian with the fur on the top. You'll fit right in! I'm so happy for you to be on your way - yeah!!!!!!!!! Praying for safe and uneventful travels and that your luggage arrives when you do. :-)

Hi,
I just found your blog through Beth P.'s. We have a 12yo daughter that has been home for 7 months now. Our SDA appointment was December 12, 2007.
Whatever boots you wear, make sure they are comfortable for walking. You will be doing A LOT over there, as well as running! lol
I wore some flat, furry, suede boots.
They were so comfy. They felt like house shoes and could take a lot of walking. The only bad thing was that I wore them all the time while in Ukraine and can't bring myself to put them on again!:0 lol
Oh, and make sure your boots are waterproof.
I look forward to following your journey:)

Those are cool boots. You will be warm, and that's what counts. :-)
Go get Vadim! He looks like such a sweet boy. God bless you on your journey.
Hope you get internet soon. glad you are settled in - will be praying tomorrow during your appt. Want to hear every detail of how Vadim reacted when you got there. Oh I bet it was good!
XO
