Hello Everyone!
We are so excited!!! Today we met with the SDA translator and psychologist for our interview to proceed with the adoption and get permission to go to the Berdyansk orphanage(10 hour train ride overnight tomorrow & 3 hour car ride). The interview questions went very well. We were asked how we met the children, how we communicated with them until now, if they wanted us to adopt them, how our children would react to them and what we would do if they said they did not want us to adopt them once we arrived at the orphanage. After seeming to successfully answer the questions and showing them our children's pictures from our wallets, the girls profile pages were taken out and we were told we would get our permission to travel tomorrow between 5-6p. The SDA employees were so very nice to us and happily answered all of our questions.
After the interview we celebrated with lunch at McDonald's with the help of the translator to get the food ordered, and then continued our walk around Kyiv. Wow- we can see why they stay in shape around here!! We spent some time in the outdoor market where all of us bought a hat today. Now we are getting ready to have our Ukrainian pizza for dinner. Tomorrow we will tour CBN Kyiv and head at 11p to Berdyansk!! Love you all and thank you for the prayers! We really continue see the wonderful things of God and how good he is- even in just the few days we've been here.

Hi Guys! Congratulations on the appointment. It is encouraging that the girls are still there and adoptable. It sounds like things are moving very smoothly for you and you are taking time to enjoy yourselves. GREAT! For the sake of those who are new to your blog (and to you and your family)would you take a little time to tell us about your first contact with your girls, their names, and how it was that you came to be compelled to adopt them. There is a lot of interest in that and not a lot that I can share. Know that we check on you every morning and evening via the blog to see how you're doing. The updates are GREAT! Pics too. You guys look cool and crisp!
Talk to you soon.

Dan & Julie - We both agree that we see God helping you. Praise Him and the faith and determination you both have in this task. We will keep praying that God protects you and the girls and that you will be coming home with them soon.
