Rachel posting again since Tonya and Joe have returned to "no name destination" which they have finally identified as Radamashel. I informed Tonya that while I understand the annoyance of typing more than five words at a time on the crackberry, inquiring minds want to know what is going on, so I need details. She seems to have listened because she has sent me some good info regarding the tenative process moving forward. Below is her e-mail. They have stated many times in e-mails to me that they can feel the support and love coming from home and that really helps. So thanks again for lifting them up.
Excellent news! Ramon is a magic man.
He is back from his meeting with the Inspector and the Director and here is the tentative plan going forward. The school will be ready with the documents THIS Friday. Friday we have a meeting with the Director at 2:00 to pick them up. We will then go to have a couple of documents notarized and turn the papers over to the Inspector who will have their papers ready next Tuesday or Wednesday. At that time we will meet with the judge and set up a court date. The documents will then be taken back to Kiev to the SDA. They will need five days (no speeding them up) to do their part with the documents. The day we return to Radamashel we will have our court date. Next comes the mandatoy 10 day waiting period. Then we will pickup the children go back to Kiev for 3-4 days for medical appointments and to go to the US Embassy.
Then we can get th heck out of dodge!
We saw storks this morning on our way to Radamashel. They have these huge nests on top of poles (kind of like the platforms we saw for the bald eagles in Canada) near little groups of houses. Last week there were no birds in the nests but this morning quite a few were occupied. No pictures of that yet but we may still be able to get some.
We also have found out that they have hedgehogs here. I would love to see one of those - but they are kind of like prarie dogs and gophers in that they live in burrows underground.
We are off to visit the children now. Will check back in with you later.
Tonz & Joe

Tonya and Joe,
I am so happy for you! It looks like you are on your way to the wonderful world of parenthood. I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible. (That is with Ukraine beauracracy at hand!). Carolina is in the final four, and President Bush is in the Ukraine as I write! How ironic!
