Here we go again! Scared...Excited... and Ready!

As you guys already know, me and Danilka (D J), had an awesome opportunity to visit Ukraine August 2018.

While in Vinnitsa we stayed at at Christian Center, they work and help kids who already left orphanages, and also they take younger kids for winter, spring and summer breaks.

While we were there, I met this boy! My heart dropped, I just knew deep in my heart that I have to do something , I had to find him a family. He is 16 not adoptable by himself, but he has an younger brother who is 14. Because of the younger brother a family can still bring them home, they can be internationally adopted.

We came home, shared their info on Social Media, in our church, with our relatives, and friends, nothing! A family needs to act fast! Both boys have about 1 year to be adopted. Most adoption take a year from start to finish!

We prayed, talked and decided that we will try to bring these boys home!

So here we go again! Paperwork chase!

This is what we post on Facebook:

"God has called us to become a “Forever Family” for two needing boys! We were not ready for this….really, not expecting it but we are trusting God, and we know that He doesn't make mistakes!

We are reaching out today to invite you to be a part of this journey and to provide two orphans a home and a future!
They deserve to have a chance and a family!

We are stepping out in faith- Trusting God with everything! Unfortunately international adoptions are difficult, time consuming and expensive! We trust God to give us strength, wisdom and we know that He will provide the support we need! We ask that you open your hearts to join our journey and support us.

Here is how you can help:

1. Pray! We need prayers! This journey is long and has many obstacles. Please pray for our family, boys, and paperwork!

2. We will start a fundraiser in the next few days! Everyone who is willing and would like donate financially and support in bringing two boys home will have a chance to participate!

3. Share! Share on your page with your friends and family!

We are grateful for you,

Mironyuk Family

USCIS approval, notary and apostille

We  did two Ukrainian Adoption, one domestic/private adoption (through disruption), and now we are in the middle of Bulgarian adoption. All adoptions were so different from each other. Our last adoption was 3 years ago, and I can't remember nothing.

I think our Bulgarian adoption so far was the easiest. It's has a longer waiting time than Ukrainian, but less paperwork.

We are done with our dossier, except I797C form(USCIS approval). Today I called their office and been told that we are approved! Hopefully we will receive it later this week.

Sergey went to downtown to get everything apostille but he found out that they couldn't apostille it because our notary didn't include special page. Sergey had to go back to two different notaries, so they could include that special page. God is good, and both notaries was working today, and could see Sergey.

After getting done with a notary, Sergey went to drop off our little project(prayer card) at his cousin's printing shop, to have them printed.

Later  back to downtown, and we have all our paperwork done!

Can't believe that we are almost done with our dossier, and now we just need to pray so all the documents will go through and there will be no delays.

**WE'RE SIMPLY ASKING YOU TO TAKE AN ENVELOPE**
There is few envelopes already taken: 

We have a wall with 150 numbered envelopes (#1-#150) that we're hoping to be claimed.

Here's what will happen if you say "YES" to an envelope...

1. I will send you a self-addressed, stamped envelope with a number on it ranging from 1-150. Also we will send you our prayer card.

2. You will place the coordinating dollar amount in your envelope and drop it in the mail. (For example, if you get envelope #37, you'd put in a check for $37.00)

3. The checks will be made payable to our names but we are - IN NO WAY- hoping to benefit personally from this, or any fundraiser, we're doing. ALL the money goes directly to our agency, or will go to pay airfare and etc.

SO...how do I get a number??

1. You can simply tell me which envelope you would like by posting a comment to this event on Facebook.

2. OR You can tell me which envelope you would like by sending me a private message on Facebook and giving me the address that I need to mail the envelope to.

3. OR you can email me the envelope number with your address to tacipe@yahoo.com.

*You can donate the money as an individual or get a group to join you - a Sunday school class, small group or friends!

We simply ask that you return the envelopes to us within a week or so after receiving them. All envelopes should be sent back to us by July 15 so that we can send money to our agency and pay the remainder of our fees.

***THE AMAZING PART****

If all 150 envelopes are claimed, we'll raise over $11,000!!!

So we pray that you'll say YES to an envelope and help MAKE ONE LESS ORPHAN!!!
