Monday morning, July 20, 2009, at 5 a.m., we received a call from our facilitator in the Ukraine, Yuri. He sounded very happy about the appointment he had in Kiev to present our dossier. He said there was a 99% chance we will be accepted. We'll take that!
The next step is waiting 7-14 days for "The Call". This call from Yuri will be with an invitation for us to travel into Ukraine to adopt a child or two. We have been waiting for this call for almost 20 months now. We can hardly wait! He told us to be prepared for an August or September travel date. This is finally becoming very real to us...
I know we have called upon you very often during this long journey to pray for us, but now, more than ever, we call upon our Prayer Warriors.
We look forward to keeping you updated through this blog and hearing anything you may have to share.
Love to all,
Kris

ReplyDeleteKristina and Lamar... I am thrilled absolutely to pieces! Words cannot express how overjoyed I am for not only your family but for the incredibly fortunate child/ren that get to grow up big and strong in your loving home.
ReplyDeleteThere is a little one (or two) out there right now who's life is getting ready to take an amazing turn down a sunny path.
Much love,
