Picked up our beautiful princess!

Well the day came and Maureen, now Arianna Joy Walter, is no longer an orphan.  She has a loving. Mommy and Daddy, and three sisters who love her dearly! We are still in Kiev waiting for her passport so the embassy can print her Visa inside it.  She is a joy and so much fun.  I brought her size 18 month clothes, but they are way too big, so she is close to a 12 month size and she is now two years old.  I brought her some pedia sure and she loves it, so we will be getting her fattened up within the next six months.  Right now her hip bones and spine stick out, but Arielle was the same way when we brought her home, so I know she will do well.  Hope to go home Wednesday, if all goes well.  Thank you for all the prayers and financial help, she has been blessed and will now flourish and grow into a beautiful young woman of God!

Court complete......

We got home yesterday evening from Ukraine, yes I can say that now that Court is over.  All went well and now we can pick her up on Tuesday March 17th!  I could not post while there cause for some reason the internet was very shotty this time.  All other times I have never had any issues with the internet service, so it was weird.  Plus it was a very short, hectic trip.

I am pleased to introduce Arianna Joy Walter.

She is a precious little angel, so loving and cuddly and we cannot wait to pick her up and get her home.  She deserves a loving Mommy and Daddy and sisters.  I always tear up and almost cry in Court when the Director of the orphanage tells the Court that she was abandoned at birth and brought to orphanage and how she has never had any visitors or people call to check on her, visit her in person or support her in any way.  It is very sad to me that a person can walk away from such a beautiful precious child, but their loss is our gain.

Again, we want to thank everyone who has supported our endeavors through prayers and donations, we could not have done it without your help, thank you!!
