It has been an adventure to say the least. We arrived in Kiev with little problem and our SDA appt went very well. We were show about 10 - 15 files of mostly very sick children in our age range. After turning those down the phycologist left and brought back two more and one of those was the child we chose to go visit.
I is 2 years old and is delayed both physical and speech, however we feel that these are normal orphanage delays coupled with premature and low birth weight. Today he played and followed instructions and was a different child than the scared child we visited this morning. We are very hopeful that this will be our child.
Tomorrow we are going to take him to Donetesk - we are in Artemosk now- for some blood work and an exam, to rule out anything major.
Sorry for the long silence - I Know how it is when you keep checking blogs for info. I will try to post more now that we have settled down some.

Donetsk is a wonderful region! I think you will be pleased with the care of your child. Some delays are to be expected. When he is home for a few months, he will flourish!
