Our adoption story began last July where we met two kids, Ilya and Snezhana at a picnic sponsored by Hope Community Church and Redline United for the kids from the Ukraine and for the host families. We had not made a firm decision in regard to adoption, but came out to visit the kids and meet some of the ones who were likely not going to be adopted by their host families.
We met Snezhana that day, but did not realize that she would be the one we would decide to adopt, along with her brother. My wife, Diana, recalled an incident that day when we sat down and talked with her and one of her friends. Snezhana was taking the cheese curls off her friend's plate, while her friend would do the same from her plate.
We left that Sunday afternoon still unsure about our adoption plans. I initially desired to adopt a girl, while Diana wanted to adopt a boy. Little did we realize at the time how God was working to bring an answer to our dilemma.
