Second Appointment Update

We just got back from our second appointment at the SDA. We weren't sure what to expect, but we were hopeful. We believe it turned out just as God intended. The young woman at the SDA who assisted us was very warm and friendly. We were shown files of two sibling groups. We were able to rule one out, and had almost decided to visit twins. The SDA called the orphanage for us and found out that the twins grandparents had stepped into the picture and wanted to adopt them so they weren't available any longer. We actually ended up looking again at one of the girls from last week that we had almost chosen to visit. We decided to go ahead and visit her. We've heard some really good things about her, but we also were told she may need some physical therapy or even surgery. We will leave tomorrow evening on the overnight train to visit her at the orphanage. Her orphanage is in the Eastern part of Ukraine. We were told it's about a 12 hour train ride from Kyiv. We look forward to traveling there and seeing a new part of the country plus also seeing the orphanage and this precious child. Thanks again to everyone for your prayers. We definitely felt them before and during our appointment.
