Here's the KMOT TV Spot....

For those of you who did not see this (that is if you want to see it) here is the link to the NBC local news story on our family's adoption journey:

I couldn't post it before because it had too much specific information regarding our adoption of Bella. But now, because the blog is private, it is ok to do so...

If you didn't know, we are hoping to adopt from Ukraine--a 4 year old little girl named Bogdana who just happens to have Down syndrome. She is currently at the Berezka orphanage in Kiev, Ukraine.

We leave on Saturday, June 20th from the Minot Airport on the 5:00 a.m. flight to Minneapolis, then to Ohio, New York City, and then arrive in Kiev on June 21st at 9:05 am (Ukraine time).

Our SDA Appointment to hopefully receive Bella's referral is Monday, June 22nd! We may even get to meet Bella as early as Tuesday!!

Will post more details soon.....Paula
