Dossier Registered
Our dossier has been translated and is being registered with the SDA in Ukraine. It was turned in to the SDA around October 1st. Now we are waiting for them to accept us and send us an appointment date. Please pray with us that everything will continue to go smooth. We know God's hand is upon our paperwork and we are praying that we will go to Ukraine before December. I know that may be asking a lot but we serve a mighty God and I know that He has answered so many of our prayers already. Thank you for your prayers!!!

Dossier Complete
Well, our dossier is complete and has come back from Montgomery. It is now off to Ukraine!! Not only is it ready to go but it's being hand delivered by Sasha who is our facilitator with Lifeline in Ukraine. What a blessing.
We had the most wonderful meeting last night with Lifeline and Sasha. Sasha is the facilitator and is here in the States visiting Alabama for the 1st time. He was such a blessing. We had the opportunity to speak with him before the meeting and he made us feel more at ease about this whole process. Talk about perfect timing, Sasha comes to visit just as our dossier is complete. That's God's perfect timing. Sasha will take our dossier back to Ukraine with him. We feel such relief. James and I aggravated Sasha and told him the pressure was on. He just laughed.
We are praying we can be in Ukraine no later than November. I know to some they may think that is too soon but we serve a mighty God and I know with Him nothing is impossible.
Please pray that our dossier get translated quickly and we get an appointment soon. Also, we found out that if siblings are not available you can only adopt 1 child. We really want a boy and a girl so we are praying that siblings are available. Please keep us in your prayers as we continue this journey. We will update when we get more news.

CIS Approval
Great news! We received our approval from CIS in the mail yesterday. It went really quick. We were approved in 2 weeks. It's amazing when you put your trust in God and He knows the plans He has made for you. We are now putting together our dossier and should have it completed by next week. Once completed our dossier goes to the Secretary of State in Montgomery to have it apostilled. When means they just verify the person notarizing everything is legit. We will then send the completed dossier to Ukraine. Then we wait for our appointment.
We were approved for 2 children so it looks like we may be getting 2 instead of 1. We are praying for a boy and a girl. Hopefully siblings. We want everything to be in God's timing but we would love to spend Christmas at home with our children. It may be pushing it but I'm praying specifically to be in Ukraine no later than November. Please agree with us in prayer.

Homestudy Complete
Our home study is complete! We received a copy of our home study in the mail and a copy has been sent to Montgomery, Al. It will be there approximately 2 weeks. Once approved it will be sent to CIS in Atlanta, Ga. It will take approximately 4 weeks and then we should receive our CIS approval. The next step will be to get our Dossier in order and then sent to Ukraine. Please agree with us that God's hand is upon our paperwork and everything will go as He has planned.
