The "rest of the story"...

For some reason, only part of the blog I wrote last night was published, so here's the rest of the story...

Scott and I are especially enjoying not being told anymore how to treat Ziva. I don't think I will ever understand the Ukrainian's way of caring for children. They obsess about keeping a child warm (even forcing us to bundle Ziva up in full winter gear when it was 5C outside and we were only going in the car!) and yet they think seatbelts are not necessary.

So where does this leave us? Well, we have been told that if all goes as planned, the passport should arrive in Kiev next Tuesday. We could go to the Canadian Embassy on Wednesday to get Ziva's visa, and we could be leaving here next Thursday!! Please continue to keep us in your prayers; please pray that the passport (and any other paperwork) gets processed on time and that there are no problems. We have re-booked our tickets for Thursday and are praying and hoping that we will indeed be able to leave that day.

We will indeed keep you in our prayers. We pray that God will continue to bless you in the coming days and also for travelling mercies. It sounds like you three, are all getting along quite nicely. God is awesome!

We will definitely keep you in our prayers. This is so exciting for you. I bet it feels so good to be parents to Ziva and able to parent her how you want now. We pray that God will continue to bless all of you.

We are just thrilled with the progress you have had lately. Every day Dad asks if there is news from you. We were so pleased with the photos. I made copies and took them to church so the rest of the choir can see them. They have been praying for the 3 of you and were so happy to see them, and commented on how happy you all seemed. Many of my
co-workers have been asking too, and are so happy when I have good news. We will be praying that all goes well and you will return Thursday. Love from Dad and Mom.
