We are Heather and Andrew Hirschmann. We are just beginning our independent Ukrainian adoption journey. This blog is to document our adoption journey and to update our family and friends with our progress and to pass along what we have learned through out the process to others interested in Ukrainian adoption.
Below are a few links to websites that we have been frequenting lately to learn more about independent Ukrainian adoptions.
http://www.ukrainianangels.org - Website of Cathy Harris who is helping us facilitate our adoption.
