Today we took Sonny Boy and the dog across the state to meet Grandma. She will take them north to Hubby's hometown and the dog will go to my Father-in-law's and Grandma and Hubby's sister will split time with Sonny Boy. I'm sure he's in good hands and will have tons of fun playing with his cousins.
When we got home I cleaned some and we ate supper. We are now completely packed sans toothbrushes and make-up. We plan on getting up early in the morning so hopefully we can sleep on the plane and try to start setting our internal clocks before we actually arrive.
Yesterday we got a call from our stateside facilitator asking us to ferry documents for another family, of course that's not a problem and they were supposed to arrive today. However there was some weather delays and the Fed Ex guy did not leave them on my door. Currently they are working on it. I hope they can find a solution as I know the documents having to go normal Fed Ex will postpone them by at least a week.
The news on other's blogs is not looking too good for referrals. It and the general stress has me on edge about this whole venture now. Our facilitator seems upbeat when asked, so I'm hoping that between her and God there is some plan in place. I just hope I can keep it together and not cry if somebody looks cross eyed at me.
That's all for now. I may or may not post until we get settled in Kiev, and since we have so little time between landing and appointment it's unlikely I'll post before then. I will try to post asap after our appointment as I know there are several appointments right behind us, and like me your haunting blogs wanting to know what was presented.

Each experience in Ukraine is different! Please do not let what has happened with other couple discourage you. Just be open minded to the files, and you will be fine. You may also ask to see more files during the first appointment. Just ask. Also many of the files say the children are unhealthy. Keep in mind they are in an orphanage. Once home, they will thrive. Many issues are easily corrected one home! God Bless!!
Good luck and safe travels!!! You guys will be in my thoughts and prayers throughout your journey! I know it is hard not getting stressed but keep in mind it all works out in the end, it is so important to stay centered and calm as much as you can--can't wait to hear you are there!
Well, the appointment is over. Just wandering how it went.
Praying you had a good meeting.
We know the stress and emotional toll this journey places on you.
We'll be following along with nothing but positive thoughts for you!
