Perseverance!

The title of this blog entry is compliments of Sarah and Mike. They used this word in their messages to us after the last posting. We like this word, because it describes where we are at this moment in time in our process and is action oriented and empowering. We want to thank those who continue to follow this blog and provide their support. We added a data tracker and are able to see that we are getting views from 10 states and two different countries - US and Canada. Interesting and exciting metrics to read and track!

We are sorry that we have not posted in a while. We decided to bug out of Kyiv for a more rural setting this past weekend. And are glad we did. Took a three hour bone crushing bus ride to Uman to stay in the hotel there over night and visit Sophia Park. Getting there and back was an adventure in itself, and we definitely got another viewpoint on Ukraine. New photos are posted on the photo log link to the right. We will save this story for later because we have some good news we want to share.

This morning our coordinator called and told us she was called to the adoption center for a meeting. We just received a message from her, and it appears that we have a second appointment tomorrow (Wednesday) at 2:00! We have few details, but hope that this means that the perseverance has paid off! This is really the first good news we have had since implementing our revised strategy/approach. If all goes well and there is a child for us, we could be on the way to the region to visit the child by the end of the week! Yippie!!!!!!!!!!!!!
