It looks like our travel date to the Ukraine to reunite with Sergei and finalize the adoption will be about June 22.
Many of our friends and family have been asking how they might help. This adventure was not something that we'd been planning to do and there are a good amount of expenses related directly to the adoption, as well as extras such as lodging and meals in Ukraine for a month, translation costs for documents, open-ended air travel, and a monetary gift to the orphanage where Sergei has lived for the past eight years.
We found a great example through an adoption resource about building a puzzle of support for the child that accomplishes some grassroots fundraising, as well as show Sergei all of the people who supported his adoption and transition to our family.
We have a 500 piece puzzle ready to roll. With each gift or contribution to support Sergei's adoption, we'll write your name on the puzzle piece and then build the puzzle for Sergei's arrival to show the foundation of support he has in the US as well as support us in this journey.
So, if you are interested in being a "piece of the puzzle", let us know! Thanks in advance for your kind support!
Craig and Dana
