One step closer

Word today from Tonya and Joe is that they had another good day of visits wtih the children. I think they are allowed to visit with them twice daily, not sure for how long each time. Although no formal conversation has been had regarding Oksana's decision, Tonya and Joe think they are operating on a tenative Yes. An appointment has been scheduled for tomorrow with the director so hopefully that will yeild a difinitive answer.

Yesterday they received 4 inches of snow but it all melted today. I think they are hoping to start the paperwork tomorrow and then possibly return to Kiev for the night to do some laundry (they haven't been able to do any at their current location), eat at McDonald's, and hopefully get internet access to send us an update themselves.

I am glad to hear that things are progressing forward!

I will be happy to help Oksana with tutoring and adjusting to American society. "Today's lesson will be Bojangles!" :)

That is such awesome news, even if the "yes" is only tentative. Its so fortunate that Oxana is getting some sound advice. She is being taught to think ahead.

Keep posting. We have this blog bookmarked and check it a few times a day.

By the way, Kiev only got maybe 1" of snow. It was mostly melted before it even stopped snowing.

God bless...

If you have a chance to post the kids' clothing sizes, there are a lot of people who are dying to do some shopping.
