1/16/08 The Misadventures of Donna and Helen

As always there is no predicting Ukraine. Today we took Juliyana to get passport photos and to get all the paper work going. We got the photo's but that is as far as we were able to get. One office was closed eliminating the possibility of doing anything else for we must have their stamp to move forward. So today was a bust, a washout, a loss, a deficiet, a total faliure in getting even close to rescuing my daughter from captivity.

We attemped to get somethings notarized that were separate from the other things we had planned to do, but the crazy notary had a problem with the wording on my power of attorney. Two and a half hours, half frozen and needing to pee like a race horse later my awesome facilitator Konstatin convinced them with out an expedite fee to accept that the word All does cover everything.

So tomorrow is another day and we will try again. I do not think we will make our scheduled flight on the 24th of January but as long as I'm getting my daughter we'll wait. Maybe not patiently but we will wait just the same.

Those traveling soon do not leave home with out a book to read you will sit and wait for hours and a book makes it a bit less painful.

Donna,
It sounds like you had a day of hassles. I guess we better get in that mindset.

Hope things go better tomorrow.

We'll talk soon!
