Waiting

We are still just waiting to hear something.  I am hoping that we will hear our travel date and that it will be soon.  Everyday the news changes.  One day they are still giving out appointments, the next day they are not.  One day they are closing for several months, the next day they are only going to close for a couple of weeks.  So, we have no idea if we will be going in a couple of weeks or not until the fall sometime.  This is really hard.  My emotions change minute by minute.  I just want to get over there and bring my kids home!  The last news that I heard was that they are not giving out any appointments to families who were submitted in May.  So, that would mean no appointment for us.  I’m hoping to hear something different soon.

  2. I suspect you'll be in luck as far as that goes. The date seems to keep pushing right. It's all in God's hands though... no way to predict what will happen.

    For us we are dossier is IN Ukraine all ready to be submitted. We are hosting the two girls on it in July and then we know at least one of them heads to the Black Sea for summer camp. Trying to figure out when to submit to try to avoid those times while submitting before a shutdown that won't necessarily be pre-announced is more art than science.

    God has been preparing us to move forward and push how you can, but be content with his timing.
