Dear Friends,
We just received our invitation to go to Ukraine for our adoption hearing. God willing, we will arrive in Kiev on Saturday August 4th and our hearing will take place the following Monday. After the hearing we'll take an 18 hour train ride to the town where Vlad's orphanage is situated. We will be in Ukraine for at least six weeks.
Thank you all once again for your generous gifts that made this trip possible. We covet your prayers as we prepare to go and please pray for Vlad to be prepared for this huge change in his life.
Love,
Beth and Bill
P.S. We plan to blog often when we are in Ukraine so we encourage you to sign up for this blog in order to get automated email notifications of new posts.
Hopefully, the court is open on Monday ;)

Sending lots of prayers and wishes for safe travels your way!
ReplyDeleteMy hopes and heart are with you both...and I love the name Vlad. My grandmother was Ukrainian...so I can testify to a definate prejudice.
ReplyDeletePreying for your trip; looking forward to seeing Vlad again, God willing. Do you need the house checked while you're away? Also, call me if you're still interested in a scooter (not that that's very high on your list right now! My Nephew has one he wants to sell.)
