Back in Ukraine

So here we are again back in Ukraine. This time we left Daniel with Courtney. This is the first time that we have left him and we are freaking out. I think he will do fine but I am not sure about John. The flight went quickly and we love the apartment that we are staying in for the next two days. Then, Monday morning bright and early we leave for Donetsk because we have court Monday evening. I am getting so excited and am starting to believe that this might really happen for us and Dimitri. I also received good news on the fostering front today so I am floating on air right now. If you are willing to put your future in Heavenly Father's hands you will receive all the blessings that you have been praying for, I believe. Even though we do not speaking the language here, we do now know how things work and it is nice having a little bit of control and independency here. I slept a little on the plane but I am still really tired. I might take a nap but I have to be up by 6 p.m. so I can Skype Daniel at 8 a.m. in Arizona. I am so lucky to have a sister who is willing to fit nother kid and a pain in the behind dog at a moments notice into her crazy, busy life. I don't have to worry about Daniel because she has always been his second mom. And being with her and Kate (his favorite person in the world) will make him be okay for the next 10 days until I can get home to him. Well, John's back with the water so bye for now.

Court Date

We finally got a court date. It is August 2nd at 5 p.m. I can't believe it is so late. We will fly out again on July 30th. Daniel will stay here this time and I will only be gone for a little over a week. I am going to still have a hard time leaving him. He has already instructed his dad to skype him twice a day.
