Bringing Artyom Home

The adventure of bringing Artyom home has been in the works for over a year and the final chapter is about to begin. Neil and I will be flying to the Ukraine on Sat.,
Sept. 6th, and will be arriving on Sun. Sept. 7th to finish the process of adoption.
Artyom is a very bright and kind 14, soon to be 15 year old boy. He is very excited for us to come to the Ukraine and adopt him. His dream of having a family will become a reality in about a month. The adoption process in the Ukraine takes about a month, therefore Neil and I will be gone, and our great kids will be taking care of things at home. Devin and Lauren will be staying with the girls, and we so appreciated their willingness to help. We will miss our sweet family, but we know that Heavenly Father will watch over them while we are gone. Thanks to all of our love ones, and for your support and help in making this dream for Artyom come true.

CONGRATULATIONS Carolyn, Neil and family!
WhaHoo, the time is here!
We all want you to know that our love and prayers are with you as you go to get Artyom! We are thrilled for you and the wonderful blessing your new son is in your lives! Isn't it true that each child is so unique and comes with their own individuality, spirit and story to tell! Artyom might have come down a different slide to this life but he will soon be in his right home and play area! Just imagine all of the memorable moments you will experience together from this time on!
We feel very blessed to have a new nephew and cousin to love in our family!
Please have the girls call me if there is anything that they need while you are gone. My cell is #631-7797.
God Bless You!
All of Our Love,
Debbie, Bill and all the Johnson Gang
