We have received an early Christmas gift or perhaps I should call it a Chistmas miracle.
It has been a longer journey than we ever expected but we finally received an appointment at the SDA in Kiev to recieve a referral to adopt a daughter.
Our dossier was due to expire in Feb./March so we had decided to withdraw if we hadn't gotten an appointment by than.
On Monday Dec.11, we recieved the wonderful news that we would be visiting the SDA in Kiev on Jan. 17th for a referral.
Needless to say time should pass very quickly, after we enjoy the holidays it will be time to pack for our long anticipated journey to Ukraine.
My mind is working overtime with holiday and travel plans and preparations.
It will definately be a NEW year for us.

Full Circle!
Yes we have come full circle and once again this week found ourselves in the office of our social worker updating the homestudy.
Thank goodness we just need an addendum to the homestudy and don't have to redo the whole thing.
We have had to update most other documents as well so once again they need to be notarized and sent to the agency.
We are hoping that our next correspondence from CARC (agency) will be that oh so elusive appointment we are waiting on.
I am starting to set things aside and pick up travel items, clothes etc. We bought a portable DVD player that will come in handy and I am recording lots of movies and educational cartoons to take along.
We are hoping to visit some tourist attractions while in Kiev and also make a trip to Odessa to visit Hope House and First Steps Kids center.

We are registered
We got an email yesterday saying that our dossier has been submitted to the NAC. Finally some good news in this complex process. What this means is that we are now officially registered with the National Adoption Center in Kiev. The next step is for the NAC to send us an appointment to travel to the center in kiev and recieve our referral for a child. This "usually" takes a few weeks to recieve word of the appointment and travel for appointment "usually" takes place 3-5 months later. So we are praying for favor as we continue our journey.
