Hello everyone,
Well...step 4 of about 15 is done....We got a referral for 2 girls aged 6 and 3 today at the adoption headquarters. The paperwork and dossier on them indicates they are in good health. we will have to wait and see once we meet them in a few dyas. We will have to travel to the Yalta peninsula, down by the Black Sea...yeah, u might have to check your geprgraphy and get a map.. The appointment went very well. SDA people were very kind, helpful, but they have limited information on the girls. We will find out more once we see documentation at the orphanage.
Lisa sent out some mass emails from her yahoo account. It is easier to email her than Matt's AOL address. We received all the posts on the Blog here so now we have 2 ways to get and send info.
We wish everyone well and keep sending us your good vibes. There is a bit of good karma attached to the 2 girls...more to follow on this.
To all mys students and Mr. B......hope u guys are doing the right thing and taking care of business while I'm gone. I will ask Mr. B to send me updates on all you guys, especially the "chuckleheads". I may be 8,000 miles away, but you know I can lay a good whooping via Internet. LOL LOL LOL. I do miss all of you. I googled numa numa on the Russian Internet...they might have aguy that can beat the saddlebrook kid!!!!
Wish us well ,post a message and send some really good vibes our way.
Love to all,
Matt and Lisa

I'm so excited for you both. You have been in my thoughts all the time. This news about the girls ran chills down my spine and brought tears to my eyes.I'm sitting at my desk and its 10:30 AM. Looking forward to reading each update. I'm with you all in spirit and am following your journey. My love to all, be safe, till next posting. Love....Hanya
So happy all is going so well. I'm praying for you guys, it's been a long journey but oh so worth the wait. 2 daughters, how wonderful. Praying everything works out the way it should. Good good luck on Sunday and have a safe trip.
Lots of love,
Tracy, Brad & Kurt too!
What great news!!!!
2 girls!! How wonderful. (We are sure you can find a shotgun cheap in the Ukraine (lol.)) We are also sure the next few days will just fly by. Enjoy them if you can as your lives will be changed forever. It is probably a good thing that you have brought your "videographer" along to capture everything on film - a film that we can't wait to see.
Safe Travels!!!
Yalta!?! How exciting! My daughter lived in the Yalta orphanage for two years. The orphange doctor was a dream to work with, and the caregivers we met truly cared about the children. I'd love to visit there again some day (with my daughter at my side so show them how well she's doing). -Robin Chance, Minnesota

Congrats on your referral!!! It is so exciting to see so many children finding their forever families!
Congratulations on your girls. We are so excited for you. Have a safe journey.
Awesome - we are so happy for you! This is a great website - I kind of feel like we're "with you" every step of the way! We're anxiously awaiting the next post!
XOXO
Love,
Christine, Anthony, Anthony, and Joey
Good vibes are coming your way directly from the Jungle Room. Matt, if you call again you need to remember Heights time man. We're a good 7 minutes behind the rest of the world. Can't wait to hear more about the girls. Love to you both.
Congratulations. I am so excited for you. Brings back some wonderful memories of our grandkids. Hoping all goes well and that they are strong and healthy!

Matt and Lisa,
Following your travel and it sounds like it is moving along. Keep this story in mind as you bring the two girls home(we know it will happen!!!) Ariana blamed us for ruining her life tonite. She could not go to a sleepover or spend the whole day at the willowbrook mall by herself with her littel 12 year old friends. First or many things that wil ruin her life. Deal with it we say
Congratulations....
Mr. Sicilian(and Mrs. Sicilian) we can see ur dreams coming true with the 2 girls...good luck
Congrats on the 2 girls, Mr. Sicilian (& Mrs. Sicilian)! Good luck, too! Haha. Yeah, I don't think you will find anyone who can beat Boris' Numa Numa dance... or Lee's. You missed our Numa Numa Faceoff! I'll show it to you when you get back. =) Mr. B's a lot of fun. Don't worry about period 4, we're behaving. Well, have fun in Ukraine! -Gillian
Tony and I couldn't be more thrilled for you!!! Two girls, Matt we have a paintball gun that you can use to splatter the ass of the boys coming over for dates!!! May you continue to be blessed with luck in your journey, we can't wait to hear more!!!
Kisses and hugs!!
Love ya!
Tammy & Tony
Congrats on the 2 girls, Mr. & Mrs. Sicilian. =) Have fun, & good lucks with them. Haha. Yeah, I really doubt you will find anyone who can beat Lee or Boris' Numa Numa Dance. You missed the Numa Numa Faceoff that Boris & Lee had. It was sooo funny. I'll show you when you get back. =) Well, that's about it. -Gillian F.
