A Second Appointment At Last!!

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever. Psalm 136:1

After what seemed like an endless state of waiting, today turned out to be a bit of a whirlwind.

The Lord has answered our prayers & granted us a second appointment with the State Department for Adoption. Our Facilitator got a call this afternoon from the SDA & they informed him that if we could come right away they could accomodate us for an appointment -- within a half hour we were sitting in the office.

It turns out that we will be headed to a city called Svaliava in the region of Uzhhorod. This trip has been an amazing journey that has taken us from one end of Ukraine to the other :) Uzhhorod is located in the Carpathian Mountains, at the fartharest point on the western end of Ukraine, near the Slovakia border.

We are very excited to be leaving the city & heading for the hills -- with the hope of finding the child that the Lord has been preparing for our family!
