POSITIVE NEWS FROM UKRAINE

We were informed today a trip our state-side facilitators recently took to Ukraine yielded a very positive outlook. Things they are a changin' in Ukraine. Since we have already received our registration letter and are awaiting an appointment letter, we will be part of the very first group to be processed under the new National Adoption Center. All indications in Ukraine are that those appointment letters will start coming out in April and we should expect our letter no later than the end of May.

The new adoption center is set to open under the new Ministry of Family, Youth and Sports on May 1st. However, they are already working, which is very positive. The NAC will be operating under a new director and from what I understand a new Director will be an improvement over the current Director.

So here we are, still caught in the vast void of government red-tape, but the outlook is certainly improving!
