The 10 day wait is up and Bella Bogdana Burckhard has a family -- Ours! We are thrilled! Now, we will pick up the court decree next Wednesday and start the paperwork on Thursday. Praise God!
After our morning Bella visit, we went to a really neat Cossacks Museum in Kiev. It was cool and rainy, but that didn't stop us hardy North Dakotans!
We had a fun day at the museum, eating at an authentic Ukrainian restaurant, and shopping at a really nice mall. I even got Bella two very cute little dresses and two cotton nightgowns. Can't wait to have her model one of the dresses for you all on her "gotcha day" which will hopefully be very, very soon!
Love, Paula BELLA's MAMA
