We had no iron and Ed's shirt was in bad need of ironing. We improvised and it worked well!
Just wanted to make a quick post to let everyone know how our appointment went this morning at the SDA office. We were a little nervous in the beginning. As many of you know, little "K" had an operation this past spring. This may have made him unavailable for international adoption until the age of 5. The psychologist who performed our interview had many questions for Olga as to wether or not he should still be considered available for us to adopt. At one point, Olga had to phone the orphanage in Sevastopol and have the psychologist talk to people there. All this time we sat with our stomach in knots.
It seems the psychologist was ok with all explanations and satisfied with our answers her questions. We were given the ok to take the next step. We have received his case! We will pick up the official paperwork tomorrow.
We are off to find some lunch now. Thank you to all who prayed for our appointment this morning. We truly believe that it helped. We are one step closer!
