We finally have our invitation to Ukraine!
We will be meeting with the State Department on January 15, 2013 and continue the adoption process of Albina, Alina and Maks. While we had really hoped and prayed to get things taken care of sooner, we are so grateful that we aren't playing the waiting game anymore. It is such a relief to have some set timelines! (At least for this moment anyway... we realize that there are still waiting games and uncertain timelines ahead. But for now, we're just going to celebrate and focus on the good news of today! YAY!)
Now we move forward with our next set of tasks in preparation to go to Ukraine. I'm not exactly sure what those tasks will be (we will talk with our facilitator soon and he will fill us in on details). I do know that we need to get flights and finish our fundraising.
And the countdown begins!
4 WEEKS TO UKRAINE!
Everyone do a little happy dance for us today!
