Ukraine Adoption

The days ahead

There are so many families waiting to go to Ukraine, waiting for the new adoption center to re-open in May and set up appointments for those who are already approved! The word in some chat rooms is that once the process begins again, things will move quickly. Some families are already packing, with high hopes that they'll get to go in May or June. Let's hope so! They don't care if they get very short notice. They will be on the next plane, if they have to.

Many are getting their documents updated now. You don't want to get this far and be turned away due to expired documents. I have to admit that a small (very small) part of me misses that pre-travel excitement. (Sally and John: I said very small!)

Cross your fingers, pray, think good thoughts, send strong vibes. Do whatever you can to help unite these patient families with those precious children stuck in orphanages day after day, night after night.
