McKenna

I need to introduce you to a new friend of mine. McKenna and her husband DJ live in San Antonio, TX. They have two kids- a boy and a girl, their little girl has Down Syndrome.

I met McKenna through Reeces Rainbow. (Click here to see their RR profile.) You see, she is adopting another little girl with Down Syndrome. Not only from the same country we are, but from the very SAME orphanage! Her soon to be daughter, Reese and our Pavel are living in the same baby house.

McKenna and DJ are there right now on their first trip. (The requirements are for both parents to travel for 3 weeks, then come home for around 2 weeks, then go back for another two to get the child.) They just got there a few days ago. They're doing court/legal stuff right now but once she's at the orphanage with her little girl, she's going to try to get pictures of Pavel for me! I can't announce this on my adoption blog becuase we can't disclose the location of Pavel (or Reese) publicly- Odessa, Ukraine.

Anyway, please pray for safe travel for our new friends and also pray that this trip goes smoothly. Pray that all of their paperwork is straight and that there are no problems. Also pray that they can get some good pictures of our boy!!! She said she would try to get as many pictures for me as she can, as well as video! Wouldn't that be awesome! All I have right now are these two little pictures from August. I would love to see that sweet little smile again! And to see how he's grown, from what I know, he had just started walking in these pictures.

I can't wait til its us over their taking pictures for other people! There are two more little girls in this orphanage that are being adopted together. The family just commited (click here)... so I would love to be able to get some updated pictures for them once we are their with Pavel!

Its such a hard thing to fall in love with your child from a distance. I can't wait to hold my little boy in my arms and to know that he's mine forever. :)
