This morning Kim went for a run in Kiev. A light snow was falling and it was below zero but still enjoyable. Kim loves running in Kiev except when there is ice on the sidewalks. After that we went with the Webers to the International Church which Maggie and Renee had visited in their trip to the Ukraine last summer.
This afternoon we met with Natasha Turovska, the adoption case worker who has been handling the Ukranian side of our case for over a year. She informed us that if the SDA (Ukranian government agency) offers us a child or children we are interested in during our meeting tomorrow, we will return to the SDA late Tuesday afternoon to pick up the referral letter and other documents. With these in hand, Wednesday morning we will be able to meet the child/ren. If the orphanage is in the Kiev region, we will continue to stay in Kiev. However, if it is far from Kiev, it will require an overnight train ride so we would leave Tuesday night. A colleague of Natasha, Helen, will be our official translator when we meet with the SDA at 3 PM Kiev time (8 AM US EST). We'd appreciate your prayers for all aspects of tomorrow's meeting!
