Mary Jo and Kenny Burchard are in Ukraine right now adopting their son. I had exchanged several e-mails with Mary Jo a month or so ago, but then nothing until I saw her NAC appointment date noted in my calendar last week. She posted a couple of times to the message boards I’m on, so I went to read her story of finding her child. She and her husband pastor a church together in CA and their faith is both evident and instrumental in their story.
I strongly encourage my readers to take the time to read it, as this is a story absolutely worth your time! If you want to know what we may be up against and how you can pray for us as we go through this same process in 6 weeks’ time, please take the time to read their story. It takes a little bit of scrolling to find where it begins - close to the bottom of the page, and then you have to do some more scrolling to read it in sequence. Just find the earliest dates to start - June 10 is a good starting place. Mary Jo, you and your husband and Veechee are in our prayers!! I can’t wait to see pictures!
I read it! Thanks for sharing their story.

I hope the trips go well. We returned from Ukraine on May 18th this year. We have 2 new little ones to add to our two boys. They are all a wonderful bunch.
The trip to Ukraine was exasperating, frustrating and even heartbreaking. Worth it, yes. What you will need is patience and Pepto. And not joking here, either, but bring some toilet paper, as the paper you will find there is really rough.
Good luck and God speed.
Sorry this is late: Happy Birthday! I’m glad I’m not 35 yet. (hee hee! I just turned 34.)
It’s so great that you get all these experienced folks to get advice from! Soon you’ll be giving it out, too!
