Ukraine Adoption

Still getting to know you

She likes pink nail polish and back rubs, lemonade and flip flops. She loves to swim and sing. She laughs and cries easily, even at the same time. She is not a big eater, though you don't dare try to take something from her plate. She will scream!

Tara Vika likes to hop and ride her scooter in the driveway, shouting "I did it!" She likes when her big brother carries her around on his back. She insists on taking a shower every night before bedtime, she brushes her own teeth with a pink Barbie toothbrush and spits the water out with gusto.

Tara moved here from her orphanage in Ukraine nearly four months ago. We learn more about her every day. She is learning that her Mom will always come back, that her Dad knows how to tuck her in at night too, and that Austin is always up to something fun to watch.

She can be very stubborn! And demanding! And affectionate! All at the same time.

Tonight we are going to show her some pictures of a little boy named Nicholas who lived in her orphanage. He was just adopted a few months ago. He is the same age as Tara. Will she remember him?
