This is the story of our 8 children. Our first 4 children were given to us by birth, our second 4 were waiting for us in Russia and Ukraine when we brought them home as teens.

Why we called it an adventure
Well, I bet you thought I would be posting from Kiev by now. There is a reason I titled this an adventure. I was rudely awakened on the plane last night with someone tapping on my shoulder saying "put your seats upright we are diverting into London the plane is experiencing electrical problems." I don't have much time but I wanted to let you know that while the rest of the plane's passengers are being put up in a hotel another family whose SDA appointment is tomorrow well we had to run and find another flight to get us to Ukraine by tomorrow. The SDA is unforgiving in most matters and the fact that we missed our flight becasue we are in another country due to an emergency stop will not matter to them. So we are spending the day in the airport and spending 7 hours on another flight to get to Kiev by tonight to make tomorrows appointment. This part of the adventure I could have done without. I am tired stinky and worried about that all impootant 9:00 apt.

ReplyDeleteSo glad to be able to follow along! Praying for it all to fall into place!
ReplyDeleteOh my! Praying for you, your sanity and nerves. Hopefully this is one of the very few bumps in the road ahead of you!
ReplyDeleteRhonda,
ReplyDeleteExpect the unexpected is the theme in Ukraine adoptions. Maybe since you are starting off with a "major" unexpected event the rest of your adventure will be smooth sailing. We'll be praying for you.
