Stahlke Adoption

More News from Ukraine

Jonathan telephoned Darlene today. She had tried to fax the NAC letter to Maria in Kiev, but it's a holiday over there and the fax machine wasn't turned on. So Darlene telephoned her on her cell phone to ask her about our letter. Maria told her that we didn't need to write back to the NAC because she has already turned in an appointment request for us. The "date" she gave was "as soon as possible." And get this--Maria thinks we will travel quite soon because there aren't very many parents requesting sibling groups.

Whooooh--take a deep breath. Last Sunday, we were planning as if the adoption might be in the fall or even next spring. Just two days later, it's feeling more like it will happen this summer!

So, now we wait for a second Ukrainian letter in our mailbox, this time with a travel date. And in the meantime, we work like crazy to get everything ready.
