We had our appointment at the SDA at 2 as planned. We waited on the stairs while they searched for Olga's file. At first they came back and said that they could not locate it. Then they came back and said - Sorry! She's not even in our database - and is not registered. A few minutes later, the assistant director appeared and said that she HAD located Olga's files -- but that she was not available for adoption until this weekend, so we could not stay for our appointment - we must come back on Monday. Ok then - "slight mistake." We are disappointed by the delay, but considering the disaster we seemed to be on the brink of...we'll take it. We will find out tomorrow when our appointment is on Monday.
So we are headed back to our friend's house (thank goodness for them!) for a couple more days. Then we will likely return to Kyiv for the weekend and perhaps do some site seeing. Kate didn't get to see any of the famous places last time -- we left so quickly! We did get to see some of the demonstrations today -- very organized
and peaceful, and some good music too! (They play it very loudly in Independence Square between speakers.)

Oh brother! Can't believe another delay. Well, I hope there's some good reason that you all are supposed to be in Kiev now. We'll pray for Monday. Boy, your friends little girl looks just like Kate!
Blessings,
Nancy
Wow! At least they didn't say she wasn't available at all. Better a couple of days than the alternative. Frustrating all the same, I'm sure. We'll pray that Monday goes well and that you will have a speedy rest of the process.
Take care and enjoy your sight seeing.

Thank God the news you got at the SDA, although somewhat discouraging, still provides hope... We will pray for you on your journey and swift return home with your "expanding" family. It's great talking to you on the phone periodically. Elizabeth is a living "Kukla". - Dale, Debbie & Irina
Oh My! We were sorry to hear of the delay, but so thankful that things worked out the way they did!! It gives me goose bumps to realize that we were praying st the exact time you were waiting for them to find those precious papers! Praying for a hassle free, speedy meeting on Monday and a safe journey on to Berdyansk. Please tell the girls that T & L said hello!
Love, Robin
Yikes. Keep the faith and try to relax and enjoy the weekend. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you.
