This morning we went with Oksana to the small town where the sibling’s brothers live. This is the town where the kids were legally separated from their parents. Thus, it is here where we must obtain legal separation from the twin siblings. The social worker in charge was very pleasant and upbeat. She seems to feel that we should not have any problem with the separation. She said that they were in favor of adoptions. The committee in charge will meet on Wednesday to decide if they will sign off on it. Then the director will either sign it on Thursday or Friday. The social worker will call Oksana to let her know.
We got word that our second SDA appointment will be tomorrow, so we made our way back to Kiev today. We got in about 5 pm. We had dinner with the Mullins who are here to adopt an Alona of their own. It felt great to visit with friends and neighbors.
On Wednesday late afternoon, we should get the formal permission to visit with Alona. We will then head back to Zhytomyr. We will be back at the orphanage Thursday morning to officially visit Alona, and then her separation proceedings will begin. Alona's separation should all be in Zhytomyr. She has a 16 y/o brother who is no longer at the orphanage and a 3 y/o brother who is not available for adoption at this time. After Thursday we hope to be able to go visit the 3 y/o.
Prayer request: 1) for continued good health, 2) favor with the government officials.
Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory. Isaiah 6:3
