At 9:17 a.m. (Ukrainian time) on Monday, July 28, proud parents Donna Marie Zaleschuk and Murray Robert Long received official documents to adopt Evan Victor Robert (7 years, 46.3 lbs) and Valentina Anna Marie (28 months old, 23.8 lbs). And, by way of the same court documents, proud children Evan Victor Robert and Valentina Anna Marie adopted Murray Robert (43 years, 205 lbs) and Donna Marie (vitals undisclosed in interests of writer's health). All family members are doing fine and are now back in Kyiv doing final immigration paperwork.
Attached is a video about nashi sonychka---our little sunshines. Thanks to Donna! [Unlike the birthing process, we feel its ok to show this type of video...]

Beautiful video, and a beautiful family. I'm especially fond of the pic where Evan is touching Valentina's shoulder while they snack - what a sweet big brother he seems to be!
Prayers for safe travels!

That was a gorgeous video! You children are precious. Congratulations
Murray and Donna,
Congratulations on your new family. I have enjoyed reading your updated blog on the adoption process. After watching your video I got alittle teary. It was emotional for a couple of reasons. One because I am so happy for you, two because I think of your mom and Grandma and Grandpa Murray and How much they would have loved to have met your beautiful children. Enjoy every moment... as I am sure there will be many and most of all have fun.
Thinking of you
Much Love
Kim Murray
This is such a tender video...it left a very large lump in my throat! The photographs and the song are so beautiful.
Congratulations Donna and Murray on the successful adoption of your beautiful children. God bless you all.
Sincerely,
Sonia
