I just received this note today, this morning actually.
Hi Christie,
I have been eagerly following your blog. In fact, when Andrew and I meet for our weekly tutoring session, we read your blog for updates. Then we google terms he doesn't understand. He's been reading his Ukrainian travel books for you; he recommends the Foger's guide. Andrew loves his travel books and almanacs.
Yesterday, I asked him if he would like to write an email to you and I would send it on. Here is his letter to your family as written:

I had hoped I would be writing this blog this morning telling you our travel date...so far? No word has yet come. BUT, it is coming--just don't know when.
I sent an email back to Andrew T and told him God knew all about his prayers for Andriy and that must be why he laid the middle name Andrew on my heart.
Makes my heart swell and my eyes a bit misty, such a sweet young man blessing our adoption. Thank you, Kim and Andrew T.

Christie, that is so wonderful and caring of him! People everywhere are watching over this family..amazing!
I'm in tears at the sweetness and love of Andrew. What a heart warming and amazing person he is! Love you Christie!
That was beautiful! So happy I can read your blog again on fast US Internet...
Did u know St. Andrew (bro of St. Peter) is the patron saint of Ukraine? Legend said he visited Kiev and pronounced that it would be a Christian country, the big orthodox church in his honor ( on the hill he supposedly visited) is right next door to the SDA!!

Andrew T- what an amazing young man you are! And so generous, too. :)
Carla- love that info!
Christie- you continue to be in my prayers; can't wait to hear those travel plans!!
I teared up when you told me about this earlier this morning and now I'm reading it again and have tears running down my face AGAIN!
Bless you, Andrew...Jadon is so blessed to have you praying for him and cheering his family on!!!!
Girl, you know how to make me cry. Andrew T sounds like an amazing young man who is wise and generous. He reminded me that people are GOOD.
As for the name Andrew--you know my thoughts. My Andrew is love and joy, just like Andrew T, and Jadon Andrew.
Andrew T sounds like an amazing young man. I'm so glad you shared the note he wrote!
