Our friends are in Ukraine right now, adopting this beauty named Nadia. We’ve been friends with Jim and Kristin for years…they have 3 other children and felt called to add Nadia to their family. Their youngest child, Josi, has Down syndrome and so does Nadia. They found her on Reece’s Rainbow (www.reecesrainbow.com), which is an international Down syndrome adoption ministry started by the mom of a child with Down syndrome. We are so happy for our friends, and even happier for Nadia – her future held little hope until her forever family found her. Now, she’s a member of a very blessed family.Â
Follow the rest of their journey at their blog – listed in my sidebar as “Kristin – Nadia”. :)

Nadia looks so much like Beverly did at that age. They have such a sweet spirit in their souls. Nadia is indeed blessed and so is her forever family.

Thank you Donna for this very sweet and encouraging post. We’re all starting to get a little homesick by now (it feels like we’ve been here a month instead of a week) but we’re keeping the attitude of trying to experience as much as possible of Nadia’s home-country! AND, it’s as hot as North Carolina-boo!
