We just received an update telling us that we'll likely travel over to the Ukraine between mid Jan and mid March 2008. We may have mentioned that it was likely that we'd have our son home for Christmas, but that's no longer feasable. So, we have something really exciting to look forward to early next year.
And.... since we were just told that 18 month olds are no longer eligible for international adoption, our child will be between the age of 2.5 and 3 years old.
At least our dossier (all of our paperwork) is not only over there but is also translated. That's huge. Now it has to be presented to the governmental authorities, they have a month to review it / pick it apart and then they'll determine as to when our "appointment date" will be to meet them and talk about the kids that are available.
So, please look forward to next year with us.
Love,
Bob and Michelle
