Life in Cleveland with Julia and Nadya is interesting to say the least. Julia has adjusted very well and Nadya is having some issues. We found that she had been kidnapped by her mothers boyfriend just 2 years ago. We are working through it. They started full time school last week and seem to be doing fine despite the fact that they cannot speak English. They have lessons everyday and we have a tutor 3 times a week to help them out.
Our daughter Grace is having challenges as well. Being de-throned has not been easy for her but I think she sees the big picture and enjoys having sisters to play with.
Paula and I are well. Still reeling from all our journey and having an instant big family. All in all it is good and we feel God's presence helping us through.
I am still working on my book although with the economy and work progress has slowed a bit. I still plan to have it done by early summer. I have really enjoyed the writing and hope it will be helpful to families that are contemplating adoption in Ukraine.
More to come
Michael
