Hello Everyone,
This is Anne Hollis, my husband Todd and I are in Ukraine with Meghan, Wayne and the kids. We are adopting a little girl (Alina) from the same orphange and have been on this journey together, in many ways!!! I am posting on behalf of Meghan because they do not have access to the internet at this time. Apartments with internet are a rarity, and it is raining and they could not get to the internet cafe today.
But they wanted to let you know they are doing well and are enjoying the time with the newest Dickinson kids. Each day they are able to go to the orphanage and spend some time with Timur and Natalia. It has only been 2 days and it is obvious that they both are bonding with Meghan, Wayne, Taylor and Tanner... their faces light up when they see them! We had dinner together with the Dickinson's after our visit this afternoon and Taylor and Tanner just lit up when they talked about their newest siblings... how lucky Timur and Natalia are to be welcomed by such wonderful, loving and compassionate siblings (and parents!!)
We are going to try to get Meghan some real time on the internet tomorrow, so she can give you more of an update, but for now please know they are doing fine, bonding very quickly with the newest additions and appreicate all your prayers and support.
God bless,
Anne Hollis

Thanks for getting an update to us - even if it wasn't from you personally. It sounds like things are going really great! We need a full name on Macy (Natalia) so we are not out of the loop. What are you going to call each of them? We so look forward to your updates and I am so thankful you have American friends there to help you out. How good is God that He provided that for you so far from home? Know that you are loved and prayed for everyday! Can't wait to love on those babies.

I know I read Macy somewhere but now it is not in the post - am I imagining things? Sorry if I got information wrong.
Love you guys!

Thanks for the update by Anne! Glad it is going well and that you are enjoying your children. I hope you can access internet soon, but atleast you have all your kids with you :)
Meghan, I sent a couple emails to let you know that there have been posts on RR of people asking if they can somehow get invited to follow your blog. Just wanted to let you know in case you could invite them.
Praying for you,

***Alyson...It's Marcus Timur and I don't think it's set in stone but the little girl will be Macey Tatum. I believe they are planning on calling the kids Marcus and Macey...in time!
MEGHAN...I'M HERE NOW!!!!
I've been on pins and needles, waiting to hear from you and you called!!! I'm so sorry that I didn't answer! I was in my annual review meeting here at work.
I LOVE YOU!!! You are doing a wonderful thing and I am so proud of you! Through the good times and the bad, remember that no matter what happens, those new babies are coming HOME with YOU!
This is all just temporary...the time will pass...and you will be home soon...with FOUR gorgeous children!!!
