Eugene and I have received our invitation to visit the State Department of Adoption (SDA) in Ukraine on January 18th, 2011! Once there, the adoption process will likely take approximately six weeks, and our best guess is that the kids will return home with Eugene in early March.
Clearly, we ran into the Christmas holiday closings, and this made our appointment six weeks in the future instead of the more usual 2-3 week timeframe. On one hand we are disappointed to have missed the December window - we were very close! Still, it is a big relief to know what we are dealing with. Until today, Christmas plans had been foggy for us and many who love us. We so appreciate all of our loved ones being so flexible in their willingness to drop everything at a moment's notice and fill in the gaps so that our boys will be well cared for while we are away! It is a big blessnig to be so well loved and cared for!
This timing will be great we think. We will try to relax and enjoy the holidays, and be thankful that we have so much time to prepare for this exciting trip!
