The Casey Family: December 2007
http://caseyuaadoption.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Our Ukrainian Adoption Journey. Tuesday, December 25, 2007. Since we've started telling people what we're doing, we've gotten lots of great questions about international adoption and adoption from Ukraine in particular. So, we've put together a FAQ post that will hopefully help everyone catch up with this whole adoption process. Why Adopt from Ukraine? How does it work? What age and gender did you request? When are you leaving? What is the process like over there? Are the children healthy? How Cold Is It?

http://caseyuaadoption.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Our Ukrainian Adoption Journey. Sunday, March 30, 2008. A few whirlwind days! So far so good with the kids! Though they've only been home since Wednesday, it actually feels like they've always been with us. The kids are really settling in well and enjoying things, though they have been jetlagged. The first couple of days, they woke up pretty early - 4 and 5 am. Today was the first day they've been in bed until 7 am - a semi-normal time (we'd prefer 9 am on Sundays! I will admit to being a little overwhel...

I do still check and have...
