Today we had our second appointment at the SDA. Thankfully, it was much more successful than our appointment last week.
We accepted a referral to visit a 3.5 year old boy named Peter in western Ukraine (Rivne). From what we know, he appears healthy and is very cute with a head full of blonde hair. We have learned from his dossier that he is shy and that the director of the orphanage is very protective of him.
We leave Kyiv on Wednesday by car for the four hour drive to Rivne with Viktoria. We hope to meet Peter and have some time to play with him on Thursday.
Rivne is an uncommon location for our facilitator, so we are all scrambling to prepare. In our case, that means doing laundry, hitting the banking machine and taking what is likely to be the last hot shower for awhile. We may not have internet access much, if at all, in Rivne, so any lack of updates may be no big deal.

Yeah! So glad to hear the second appointment went better. We will be praying that your meeting with Peter goes well and we look forward to good news from Rivne soon. Safe travels and be sure and take a ton of photos in the city, Peter will be grateful down the road.

PS: we are back from Corsica on the 21st - you can always stop by if you are up for it and situation permits!
Hopefully many prayers and positive thoughts will be answered when you meet Peter. I know another 3-year old who will be very excited to meet him. Can't wait to hear of word.
