Well, we're here in Kiev and we're on our way in the process. We arrived yesterday (I think) and spent the day trying to acclimate ourselves and get some rest. It was 10:00 am in Kiev, but 3:00 am our body's time. Nice. We slept, ate snacks we brought, got some groceries, and settled in to our apartment.
We JUST got done with our appointment at the State Department of Adoption and met with a few people regarding our adoption. We have chosen a child and his name is Mykola Gagarin and he is just over two years old. He is living in an orphanage in Donetzk. We will travel tomorrow night by train most likely and will meet the child on Thursday.
All for now...
