The Countdown Begins

"A-minus-33" - 33 days until we walk into that office at the State Department of Adoptions in Kyiv...

WELCOME TO SONYCHKO!! Our blog and our story of how Donna and I are building our family

So, many of you knew we were pursuing adoption. Surprise!! We are going to be on our way sooner than you may think. June 25th we fly to Kyiv. July 1st (Canada Day) is when we meet with State Department of Adoptions to launch our family building journey.

For those of you who are curious, we have a different posting on what the process has been and will be as we move forward.

For me, with every day we move closer, the other hassles of life seem to go farther into the background and I think more and more about the opportunities that await. Maybe one of them will be Rhodes Scholar...maybe a hockey or soccer star...or maybe even a Rider's wide receiver. But then, really, all I hope for is that they are healthy, happy and that over time we learn to love each other and all become a family. MURRAY
