We've been here almost 4 weeks now, and the time seems to be going fast. We haven't heard yet about our next appointment at the adoption center but may hear Monday. Today is Constitution Day in Ukraine, another national holiday. My earlier postings indicated this as being on Monday. Monday was actually Orthodox Trinity Day - Triytsya in Ukrainian. You may equate it to the old Wht Monday that was known in some churches in years past as the Monday following Pentecost Sunday. Western Protestants and Catholics observed Pentecost about 5 weeks ago, I'm sorry for the confusion.
We Americans celebrate Independence Day next week! This year for us the 4th will be quite different indeed! We may be on a train for Kerch or here in Kyiv.
I found a setting that should make commenting easier. The default setting allowed 'registered users' to the site or blog to comment. If we start getting too many spam bot comments or others we may have to pull back.
Thank you all for your prayers and encouragements along the way, we are not traveling this road alone!
Fascinating stuff. Thanks for posting. Some of my Jewish ancestors, the Kaisers, are possibly from that part of the world. Those caves really interesting. Hope you will be home soon, with a new family member. --Steve Slesinger

ReplyDeleteI had tried to comment a number of times before and hope it works this time! Praying for you all and look forward to hearing more about your adventure! :) Michele
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we are able to post now. I had tried before. I wanted you to know that we are all with you in prayer. I'm sorry y'all have had some disappointments. Hopefully those are behind you now and from here on out it's good news. When are y'all supposed to come home? Colleen
ReplyDeleteHi Colleen! We have no idea when we will be home. We hope to go to visit Oleg this week, either on Wednesday or Thursday. After we find out for sure that he wants to be adopted we will start the process here. It might be 6 weeks or more before we come home.
DeleteWow. How blessed y'all are with your jobs affording y'all the time off. Colleen
