Heading for the Home Stretch!

Hi Friends,
It's been a while since we blogged. Just a quick update: We left Kerch with Liam (Vlad) about 2 weeks ago. We are in an apartment in Simferopol. Last Tuesday we applied for Liam's passport and we should be able to pick it up this Tuesday. In anticipation of this we have booked train tickets for the 14 hour overnight trip to Kiev for Tuesday afternoon. On Wednesday morning in Kiev we will go to the U.S. embassy on  to apply for an immigrant Visa and then get a medical exam for Liam. On Thursday we will return to the embassy to hopefully pick up the Visa. Then, if all goes well we will get on a plane for home on Friday!!!! We can't believe things are finally coming to a conclusion. Please pray that these final steps go well and we can actually leave next Friday as planned.

Liam chillin' in our apartment in Simferopol.

Liam is doing well. We are having fun together and getting the hang of being a family. Lots of things for all of us to learn. But by and large he is very cooperative and very affectionate. (but also very goofy just like his dad.)  Today we went to the circus and then hung out  in a park with our friends Ed and Dina who have adopted two young kids from Kerch.

Can't wait to be home. Very thankful that we've gotten this far and that Liam is with us.

Hope to see you all soon!

Love,

Bill, Beth and Liam
