Quick update
Just wanted to make another quick post to let everyone know that we made it safe and are finally settled. We are already in our second apartment here in Sevastopol and wait until you see this one!! Oh boy, the whole day has been paved by the Lord and we give him all the credit. I will explain more when I have more time.
We were all nervous this morning. We went to pick up our social worker and I did not think things were going to go smoothly. We waited quite a while for her to come out of the building and then when we took off in our car, her car turned back and she got out of the car and went back inside the building. Never once did this lady smile or greet us when we greeted her. She was all business, let me tell you.
We got to the orphanage and found out that the head doctor was not there yet. OH BOY. The social worker seemed even more upset. Cannot say that I blame her, but certainly not the look I was hoping to see on someone who was going to be filling out a positive report on our visit!
The medical director arrived. We received all the info they had on "K". We were just about to ask questions, when the director got up and opened the door. And there he was. I will blog the details later, but will just say that the meeting went far better than Ed and I anticipated. We easily agreed to become this little guys parents. He was open and curious about us. I was able to get a picture but was asked not to show it until after the court decree has been issued - 3 weeks or more. Sorry. But, he is a cutie!
Love to you all. Thank you so much for the prayers. They are going before us and uplifting us. We have another very long day tomorrow, but I will try to get another post in. Every one else is sleeping but me! I need to correct that! Farewell.
