Subway token: 25 cents.
Bus fare: 33 cents.
Hearing Igor say "I have good news." Priceless

"I have good news for you" is exactly what we heard Igor say today. We are still chuckling at the difference between his definition of 'good news' and our definition of 'good news". We are thankful for his wisdom and insight more each day. He has a gracious spirit and it's easy to tell the children respect him.

We were hoping to hear 'court date' instead of 'interview'. Here's the scoop: 2 districts represent Sasha's welfare in the adoption. One of the districts' juvenile officers has signed a document necessary to request a court date. The other district must sign as well and that juvenile officer is requesting an interview before signing. Our interview is scheduled for this coming Monday.

In response to our question wondering if this procedure is customary - Igor said he had never had a request like this before.

At any rate - there was an immediate answer to prayer this morning and we are thankful! Igor is hoping we can advance the process directly from the officer's desk (during the interview) rather than adding the few days needed to get through the SDA again to the court.

The Lord his God is with him and the shout of the King is among them. Numbers 23:21

Time to catch up on photos:

More of Maidan Square - the dome is where the underground mall
is located and one of the many entrances to the subway.

  3. Glad to hear you got some good news today. Will pray that things go quickly after your interview on Monday. We will be in Kiev on April 11 and we hope that you are back in MN at that time :). We look forward to seeing Jeanne in Kiev when she is there to bring Sasha home.
