Good news...we got our visas for the girls, which basically means the paperwork is done with regards to the adoption.
Bad news...we could not confirm flights for all of us tomorrow. The earliest we can fly out is Saturday (2 more days of sitting around). We have 3 confirmed tickets for the girls, and are waiting for two more for Janet and myself. Due to our circumstances, we were bumped up to the top of the waiting list. If two people cancel their flights between now and Saturday, we're on our way home.
You know it just seems like things are against us, kind of like one of those dreams where you feel like you are running as hard as you can, but you are in slow motion. It's just like that. Even today, the (Ukranian) security at the American Embassy was trying to keep us from entering. "But we're AMERICANS!!!" we kept telling them, and they said that they were just too busy inside to be helping us today!
I'm telling you...we are in the Twilight Zone! I called inside, and someone told them to let us in, and then we had to wait a couple of hours for visas that they had called and said were ready to be picked up. More craziness.
As bad is things have been, we are still in a safe place, and with friends, and well taken care of. We have a things to be thankful for...BUT we are SOOOOOO praying for those tickets for Saturday, so we can get home.

Victor, I not only feel your pain, but I lived it. I know what you are going through. I was so ready to be done with Ukraine. Just hang on you'll be home singing God Bless America soon. :)
God Bless,
