Hello Everyone,
I wanted to open by apologizing for being cryptic. We are not yet comfortable printing the name of our referral or the region we are in….however, rest assured we had a great day with our Daughter-to-be. She is a dynamic and wonderful child. She is very strong willed; in short, a real pistol. These traits probably have allowed her to succeed within the orphanage system. She is quite the little leader…perhaps a little too forceful from time to time, but certainly nothing that time, love, stability, and boundaries can’t solve. We are truly blessed. We got to see her in rehearsal for a St. Nicolas pageant and played with her for a couple of hours. The director here is a bit cautious and does not sign permission without watching your interactions with your perspective child for a couple of days so like everything else in Ukraine we wait. We are hoping to have her permission by Thursday so that Konstantine will submit it the balance of our paperwork to the SDA on Friday. If all goes well, we will have court before the end of the year. We have found that nothing is shut down until the 30th of December and then it gets crazy with the Ukrainian holiday. As you can see, we have been busy and have not had any time to get to the internet cafe'. We will continue to post as often as we can but bear with us we are trying to write and save in the evenings so we will not forget what has happened along the way. Keep posting your comments, we really enjoy reading them.
Amy,
Donna and I really messed up the time zone thing this morning. We hope you were able to get back to sleep.
All the Best,
Donna and Michael

XO and Donna,
Wow, what an adventure. It sounds like you have been keeping very busy. I know that you must be overwhelmed with emotion...... I am happy for you, and wish you only the best. How old is your daughter to be?
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Sandra
Donna is totally forgiven! Actually we wake up at 5am - so it was just a jump start to the day! I have been thinking about you guys and was hoping for the best! After your call - we realized that exactly one year ago - about the time you called we were getting all our stuff together to get off the train in Kyiv! How time flies!
Amy
We are so delighted that you found your daughter! All the best during the rest of the process. What a wonderful gift for your family.
We are so happy to hear that you have found your little angel. Enjoy the holidays with her. We can't wait until you bring her home, so we can all meet her. Take care and we are keeping you in our thoughts.
~April and Izzy too :)
