After waiting around our apartment for most of the day we finally got a telephone call from our facilitator with some promising news. We do have a 2nd appointment with the State Department (SDA) set for this Thursday afternoon. We don't know what kind of files that we're going to be shown but we're at least hopeful that this time around we're going to be shown more than files of special needs kids.
We've read blogs of other families looking to adopt from Ukraine and it seems that for those people who have had appointments during the past week or so, they've had much better luck than we had the week before. Lets hope that the luck holds through Thursday.
Although we've gotten antsy waiting for our 2nd appointment, I will say that we have become attached to our apartment here in Kiev. Here are a few pics of our "humble abode". As you can see it is actually nothing more than a modest one bedroom apartment. The living area is spacious and there is a small kitchen. Its all that we really need. We also have a bedroom and a balcony that is attached to the rear of the apartment.
Our facilitator will be out of town tomorrow so tomorrow we'll be left to our own devices. We may go back to Andrevsky's market to re-examine some more potential souveniers. Shirley also wants to go back to one of the Churches to light a candle for hope. That sounds like a good idea to me.
Again this is another small post. Count your blessings!!!
