We made it to Kiev!

Our plane touched down about 4:30pm local time yesterday in Kiev. Normally we would catch the overnight train to the region, but due to the holiday there were no tickets available. So, we stayed the night and are catching a bus at 7:30am.

Going Camping!

We fly out tomorrow evening! We will arrive in Ukraine about 5pm (local time) Saturday. Then Sunday morning we board a bus for an 8 hour ride to the region where our kids are.

Next Monday and Tuesday is a National Holiday in Ukraine. It is their Labor Day. So, yesterday we received word that Monday morning our kids are heading out to the country on an overnight camping trip. We were invited to go and we are quite excited about it. We have no idea what "camping" in Ukraine means so it could be an adventure! We'll update you all ASAP.

P.S. The high today in the region where the kids are was 80 (°F)!

We are almost outta here!

We are leaving for Ukraine next Friday. We haven't been given our appointment date yet, but we are told it will be around the 1st. So, we are heading out to spend a day or so with the kids before the process begins.

Dossier submitted!

Our Dossier was sent to Ukraine about two weeks ago and has been submitted to the government. It is now for us to just wait to hear of our appointment date. There have been some developments of which i will blog about next.

Prayer is needed for God's guidance and provision!
