FINALLY!!!

Our appointment date is June 11 !!!! Not much else to say..... now we just get tickets, plan, and rob a bank to cover the trip!

hhhhhhhhhhhmmmmm......

For those who know me...you know that patience is NOT my strong suit. I am fresh out of patience. period. I also like control....and with this situation, I have NONE. Not a day passes when someone doesn't ask about Vita coming home. I want to have an answer....I really do! Well, I have an answer: we are still waiting. I would like to have a definitive answer: We are leaving on such and such date!!

I check my personal email from work several times a day when I'm there....hoping to not get caught! Hoping they will buy my excuse if it ever comes up! (if you don't want me on yahoo, then block it...hello???)

So for those who read the updates....still no news. And I just checked my email to be sure we didn't have a date.....

Waiting....

Well....still no appointment. We did get a second hand email from Vita though with many updates on things happening in her life. It was quite emotional and it's hard being so far away from her and knowing she is alone. At least now she knows we have not forgotten about her and we are coming to bring her home....if the Ukrainian adoption system sees fit to allow us! We need time and patience....and I'm fresh out of both!

Every day brings new hope...I call cautious optimism.

Thanks for hanging in there with us!

Surprise...or not

Well, March 18th in Ukraine has come....and gone. And we have no appointment date. I was cautiously optimistic....so I am not surprised. Noah wants to try out for a speaking/solo part in his k'garten play...but I cannot commit without knowing when we will travel...and they need to know the 20th. Now this is effecting the other kids and I hate to see that happen

The good news is that Vita knows we are still working hard on bringing her home.....for whatever that does to help her. I'm sure the wait is killing her...as she watches her friends be adopted by their former host families. Her time will come....soon we hope. She is a much stronger person than other kids.....but she is just a kid and shouldn't have to suffer and wait

Until next time....

Closer...

We rec'd an email that we should have our appointment date tuesday....3/18!! So, hopefully in a few days....we will know when we are going to Ukraine!!!

Earlier this week I received an email from KT at Frontier Horizon, who rec'd an email from Vinny, who rec'd an email from Larisa in Ukraine.....the message was that Vita is wondering if her family is going to come and get her. Talk about heart breaking!!! Hopefully Larisa will be able to get word to Vita that we are getting very close to coming over....and I will pass our date along once we know.

What did we do before the internet...........
