We keep going and going and going and going.......

So where have we been and what's going on? The answers are here, just keep reading.

I haven't posted in a while because, well the truth is, I just didn't want to think about what is going on. Due to the extended period of time this process has taken with the shut-down in Ukraine and the transfer of adoption authority we are put into a position that will require us to re-do all of our paperwork. This includes our INS application, state and federal background checks, homestudy update, physicals, and a bunch of other stuff.

There are two things that are significantly frustrating to me about this. First, is the immense amount of time this is taking, it is a HUGE test of patience and faith. Second is the cost, this is a turn of events that was unexpected and one for which we were unprepared. It is requiring us to make other accommodations as a result (anyone want to buy a 1978 Jeep CJ5? Sorry the 2005 Envoy is already spoken for and should be gone soon.)

We expect to be notified by Ukraine as to our appointment date sometime this month or next, but we have expected that before.
