Today we had a disappointing appointment at the SDA (State Departament of Adoption); we were only presented with unhealthy children and one boy who was over 4 years old. So now we have to wait until next Monday, which is when we have another appointment. We are praying that next week we will be presented with a child that is healthy and within the age specifications required by Ukranian law.
Until then we are stuck in Kiev. The weather has been dreary, and today it is sleeting and snowing- not great for exploring the city. Our apartment is cozy, clean and very warm (which Doreen loves!)...albeit a bit tacky. Now we are off to the market to buy more groceries, now that we are staying the week.

We are happy to hear that you arrived safely in Kiev. Sorry to hear that your first appointment didn't go well. Our prayers are with you both during this difficult waiting period.
Can't wait to meet your new son/daughter!!!
Love,
Lindsay & Darryl
Doreen & Scott, sorry that today didn't go as planned! We are thinking of you guys. Hope that next week's appointment goes better.
Love Tara & Kevin
Sorry to hear about your disappointing first interview - a drag that you have to wait a whole week before you get another hearing - try to enjoy Kiev - if it's any consolation, the weather is dreary here as well - you're on my mind - Love Gertie
Hi there,
Sorry your day did not go as expected. We have friends who adopted from China and this very thing happened to them. In the end they came home with their healthy beautiful daughter. God has a plan and he has all the details worked out already.
Hi Mrs. Calder
How are you doing in Ukraine, I really miss you, we pray for you everyday in class and at home too.
I like Mrs. Vanderwall but not as much as you!! I cant wait to see your new child when you get back.
Love Jackson V.
