Bringing All the Babies Home

We have been so blessed through this entire journey and this post is dedicated to one thing.....showing Lilya and Alex who helped bring our babies home.  If you don't want any public recognition and your name is on this list, please let me know and I will remove it.  I do not want to "pat anyone on the back", I just simply want to be able to show Lilya and Alex how many people were a part of bringing them home!  These people took part in praying, donating items for our auction, washing cars, helping with the yard sale, CFA Spirit Night, giving financially, bidding on auction items and so much more that I can't possibly list everything.  And I am bound to forget someone, so as more names come to my thoughts, I will add them here.  Please forgive me if I forget you, it is just going to be so hard to remember each and every person but I really want Lilya and Alex to just get a glimpse of the support we had to help bring them home!  Sooooo.....here goes:

Thank you so much.  Words can not express what I am feeling right now.  We board a plan in 40 hours to start our journey towards the Ukraine!  Everyone who helped in some way just has a piece of my heart!  I know there are more.  There are people that donated financially that we do not even know about.  There are people that helped whom we've never met.  There were people praying for us that didn't specifically tell me they were praying.  I am sure this list is probably much, much longer but this will give them an idea of the love that awaits for them when they get home.
