Dossier Submitted

We went to the SDA again this morning. This time they allowed us to submit our dossier. They did a quick check of all of the documents to make sure that all of the documents were there and the dates were good. Now we are waiting to find out when our appointment is for our referral. We were told that it should be tomorrow. So far everything has gone great!!

We were also told that the orphanage records show that Dasha's registration papers were sent to the SDA in 2006! If this is the case then she should have already been available. But they told us previously that she will not be available until October. The only way she will be available is if they made a mistake previously. Yulia seems to think that they may not have processed her paperwork when they received it and that's why she is still not available. Please pray for a miracle here. This child has already waited out her time! It's not fair for her to continue to wait just because her paperwork may not have been processed in a timely manner. I'm just praying that there was a mistake and that she is available. Please remember this prayer! It would be a miracle for us to bring both children home! But, I believe it is possible! Look what God has already done for Roma (John Paul)!

Also, thank you for all of the prayers that have been going up! Things are really going great so far and I know this is a result of the many prayers! Thank you.

Today we are going to venture out to Kiev Pechersk Lavra (Kiev Monastery of the Caves). We were told that it is a really holy place so we are going to go there, visit, and offer up prayers for all of the orphans.

But first, we are going to eat. So I am going to run and eat!

Thanks again for all of your prayers and support!
