We got our referral letter for Alona today. As you can see from the pic, the Mullins were there with us to get their letter for their Alona. This picture was taken by a woman from Richmond Va. She and her husband were there to adopt as well.
We got back to Zhytomyr at about 7 pm. We have been using a driver named Vasyl. He is the driver we used when we were here January 2010. He has a great van with AC. He is a safe driver, punctual and he is cheaper than most drivers. I would highly recommend him to anyone coming to Zhytomyr. He is also a believer to top that off.
We got word from Oksana who is off working with another couple that the separation for the twins from the 3 siblings was approved and signed. We should be traveling to that town again on Friday to get the final directors signature.
Tomorrow we go meet Alona officially. Though we have met her unofficially, this will be a great day for her because this time we will start the process for getting her adopted. She will be very excited and so will we. We hope to then be able to visit her 2 & 1/2 y/o brother who is not available for adoption.
Boy, it looks like I may get to bed before midnight.

and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.
So happy to hear the updates!! What a neat picture of you guys with the Mullins! Wow - incredible that y'all were at the SDA on the same day! God is good! Give all the kids hugs from us and tell Alona that we are SO happy that her process is now begun. Praying for a continually smooth process!
