October 5, 2009

Hello Everyone,

Well, the hearing is over and we offically became parents today. Also, the judge waived the 10 day waiting period. According to our facilitator we are the first couple in their agency to get to take their child home on the first trip. We are thrilled, relieved, and tired. We have to purchase clothes first thing in the morning for him to wear when he leaves the orphanage with us. There will be a farewell party around noon and then we will take Bogdan head to another region to get the new birth certificate and then to back to Kiev. There, we will have to spend a few days getting the passport and final paperwork for the trip home. If all goes well, this time next week we should be on our way home and Bogdan will be with us.

We will post as soon as we can.


Thank you for all the prayers and support.

Charles, Lisa, and Bogdan
