Wonderful News!
This is Anne, Mary’s sister, sharing a message from Mary and Jonathan.On Thursday, August 18th, the adoption became final! Everyone is overjoyed! After having the parties at the orphanage and sharing thank you gifts with the orphanage, Mary, Jonathan, and the kids drove to Kiev late Thursday night. The children had their necessary medical exams on Friday. The family spent the weekend at an apartment in Kiev, sightseeing and shopping for tennis shoes for all the kids.
On Monday, they hope to obtain their visas from the U.S. embassy. If they are successful getting the visas, they will travel home to Chicago on Tuesday (assuming there are seats available on the plane.) If the Tuesday flight is full, they will fly home on Wednesday. Mary and Jonathan asked me to tell everyone that they are incredibly happy, and to send their thanks and love to everyone for your prayers and support. They also asked me to share that the Baptismal service will be at St. John’s church in Chicago on Saturday, August 27th, at 6:00pm.
