Day of Paperwork

Nothing interesting to report today, except that we notarized many documents. We saw Kolya for about five minutes and then we were off to the notary for preparing documents necessary for the National Adoption Center in Kiev. Our court date is set for next Tuesday at 10:00 am, which is good. After our court date, Kolya is legally ours and we do not need to take Kolya back to the Internot anymore, which gets difficult to do each day. We let him know that we have to get all the paperwork completed before we can take him with us and it will take a little time.

We are lacking one document before Galina can return to Kiev and submit all paperwork to the NAC. We leave early in the monring to pick that document up in Odessa from the Minister of Education. Galina will then fly to Kiev and present the documents to the NAC. The reason we must fly Galina to Kiev, is that if the papers are not submitted tomorrow we will lose three days. I think the NAC requires so many days to process before the court hearing. Please pray that we get Galina on the noon plane to Kiev and paper delivered to the NAC tomorrow.

We are very close! The process has gone very smooth for us so far and quickly. We are grateful for that. We will turn our attention to spending time with Kolya, after Galina leaves for Kiev tomorrow with completed paperwork and before she returns for the court hearing.

God's Speed,
Kyle and Susie
