We had our appointment at the SDA yesterday (turkey day!) It was for ONE hour only. We were shown 5 referrals - only 2 in our age range. It was a little disappointing... we saw 3 in our age range - but each had its own set of issues... girls are extremely hard to find in Ukraine. We are hoping to get permission today to travel to one of the southern regions to visit a little one... we won't post details until we have more!
We miss everyone very much and are coping - but home is sure looking good right now!
Alex is glad to be out of school! He can't STAND the fact that the TV is not in English! haha!
I got to say HI to little J last night - it was tough to hear his voice and not give him a hug...
We have jet lag - saw a monkey in a santa suit (got a family photo!) and have ate at McDonalds... We are sorta left on our own most the day - so we have been waling around a bit to try and get some ideas of things to do...
weather is foggy - but not too cold...
We will update maybe tomorrow!
Edit: We were shown referrals from Cherkasy, Luhans'k, Zhytomyr, Donets'k and Zaporizhzhya Regions
Cell phone made it to Kyiv and beyond!

Good luck Remember we adopted a "SN daughter" and she is healthier than any child.
Email me if you need some thoughts

Don't get down - things always have a way of working out. Happy b'day to my special girl. Hugs and kisses to all of you.
I'm praying that things go well for you regarding the visit in the south! One of the things that Laney and I were really looking forward to was the adventure of it all. To have that kind of an adventure and being able to return home with the child we so desired was very appealling to us. Even though we have found our little one right here in Oregon we greive the loss of that adventure. Probably naive, but just thought that I would share it anyhow. I'll pray that you have a blast and find your daughter amidst the fun.
Hey Amy,
Just wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you guys. As hard as it is, stay positive and stay determined. Your child-to-be is waiting and depending on you to do everything possible to bring him/her home. We were in Ukraine for 6 weeks in the middle of winter and it is so hard. But stay the course, be very clear with your translator on your expectations, and rely on those of us stateside for support. And Leanna is right, be somewhat flexible on your criteria.
We'll keep you guys in our thoughts!
