Welcome to the Tkach Adoption Journey

Welcome to our new blog. We have had several requests to provide updates on Adam and Aiden's blogs. Instead, we decided to create 1 new blog and provide updates on the whole Tkach clan. Because you can't talk about one with out mentioning the others. They have been inseparable. we are amazed at how God has taken four children, born from 4 different sets of birth parents (including us), and merged us all into a family. Add a fifth sibling, Jeremy, and our family is complete (at least we think so).

So here's the introductions (or a refresher):

Jeremy: Our birth son, now 20 years old. Jeremy is serving in the US Navy and is stationed in Bahrain. While he is there he is greatly missed by his family.

Aiden: The newest member to our family. Aiden was adopted in June 2008. His adoption story can be found at www.aidensjourneyhome.blogspot.com. Aiden and Jeremy have yet to meet. He is 7 years old and in First Grade.

Mackenzie: The reason why Karyn and Jeff are not working part time retirement jobs in Florida. She came along 14 years after Jeremy. Truly a surprise, and better than that, an amazing blessing from God. Without her, this adoption story would not be told. She is 6 years old and in First Grade.

Makayla: She brought our adoption story to life. She was 18 months old when we adopted her. We just wanted a sister for Mackenzie - little did we know then we would be adopting 2 boys. Makayla is an amazing pint-sized 5 year old kindergartner and practically joined at the hip to her sister.

Adam: Also 5 and in kindergarten, Adam was adopted into the family 2 years after Makayla at the age of 3. His adoption story can be found at www.adamsjourneyhome.blogspot.com. Adam is a happy go lucky kid and a real trooper. He's been through 2 surgeries related to his cleft palate with more to come.
