The next step… 7/31/2005
We have been informed by our translator, Sveta, that we must meet her tomorrow at 3 pm to submit the paperwork from the last referral and to request our 2nd appointment. We are really anxious to get the whole adoption process moving forward again, and it all starts with the appointment, so please please be in prayer for this that we will get a 2nd appointment very quickly and easily. We really need favor for this! We will stay as long as it takes, but it gets costlier each extra day we are in Kiev. It isn’t about money, but we are just so ready to find the child God has for us and bring him or her home with us. Anyway, thank you for your prayers thus far. We want you to know that we can feel them strengthening and sustaining us. We really do have an amazing sense of peace, and true peace only comes from the Lord.
Thanks again and blessings from Kiev!
PS We discovered that the family we met in Customs at the airport has successfully adopted the two children they came to adopt and are back in Kiev not far from us. Congratulations!! We hope to meet up with them soon. It is such a small world…
WOW! That is wonderful that they were able to adopt so quickly.
I hope that things continue to move along quickly for you guys.
Hi Sandi,
Just to clarify, their adoption actually took a long time. This was their 2nd trip, their first one having been about 5 or 6 weeks ago. Things seem to be moving much more quicly for them on this particularly trip, however, so that is indeed a good thing. They had complications during the first trip and had to leave and come back. I am actually hoping that ours goes much smoother and quicker than theirs did, but if not, so be it. Take care, Jodi
Hi!
It has been great reading about your story as we are supposed to travel the end of this month.
Can you tell me if the Director is back? Our facilitator says our appt letter is waiting on her coming back to sign it. I guess she has been on leave (vacation) but is supposed to be coming back soon. My understanding through the facilitator is that many were not sure if she was coming back so things have been on hold.
Good luck, thoughts and prayers for a quick and fruitful second appt!
Nancy
I did not realize that this was their second trip. Thanks for letting me know. I am praying that yours go more smoothly.
