I'm so excited for you both. I can't wait to drive you to the airport to get you that much closer to meeting your new little one. I wish you all the best.

Hi Doreen, I am a past client of Rodica's and just wanted to wish you well and give you some support. Your daughter is adorable (she actually looks a lot like our son!). We adopted our boy three years ago when he was three-years-old from Zaparosha. We were in Ukraine for 7 weeks and I too thought it would never end. Believe me you will see Canadian soil again soon. We are in fact working on a second adoption through CARC for this June. Hang in there and know that there will be a time when this will all be in the past and soon you'll be home enjoying your new family. All the best,
Elyse (Evan's mom)
