Setback. We found out that the girl has very recently been transferred to a 'boarding school', not sure of the official term. Our facilitator spoke to that school's director who said one of the girl's relatives had applied to be the girl's guardian. We're not sure what that means or what is the situation with the relative. Our facilitator is taking the overnight train tonight to Donetsk to meet with the director and the relative to discuss the situation to see if they would still be agreeable to us adopting the girl. We'll find out more tomorrow so for now we wait.
Tonight we felt a need for pizza. We went to Vesuvio Pizza near Khreschatyk (Хрещатик). I've never seen such a variety of toppings. The menu included English. Prices were great. Our 'vegetarian' pizza included thin pieces of tomato, onion, green beans, carrots, corn, peas, (mushrooms?), and cheese over pizza sauce. I don't think we read the description fully on the menu so we were surprised with the variety of vegetables. It was really good. They also had a spinach sauce option.

So sorry this is happening in your adoption journey! Usually children that have guardians are put into boarding homes/schools rather than orphanages. Praying that the child/ren God has for you will be soon in your family! BTW don't worry about the closeness in ages. We twinned our son and are about to twin our daughter so we will have two 7 year old boys and two 14 year old girls!
I am sorry that this is happening to you. I hope tht htings work out with the girls or that they grant you a 3rd appt. I will be following along and praying. We ate there too, yummo!
Blessings, Kristina
Hi Parkers:
Believe me, I know how you feel. I haven' had internet for a few days, but am back in Kiev waiting for the second appointment. The twins changed their minds about being adopted and leaving Ukraine. There also was a mother in the picture, who I sincerely believe, had an active part in their sudden change of heart. I'm in Kiev now and would love to touch base with you. I hope all is going well on your end. Please email be privately at hlawrie@itol.com.
