Chuck Taylors
We're still in Kiev and it's likely we'll have to wait until May 10th for our next referral appointment because the offices will be mostly closed until then due to various holidays. There'll also be no more new kids on the data bases until then and there wasn't a match today. We thought of coming home to wait, but after considering the expense of the flights and the possible but very small chance that the first group we considered might come available again between now and May 10th (in which case, we've decided, we'd want to take them) we decided to stay here.
Mark and I were walking towards the cafeteria restaurant for dinner tonight when a woman asked if we were Americans. She'd noticed my converse (Chuck Taylor) sneakers and guessed our nationality. She and her husband are also here to adopt and they kindly invited us to join them and two other adoptive couples for dinner. It was so wonderful to laugh, share stories and make new friends.
It's hard to wait, but it's worth it for the children we'll take home.
I miss you guys!!!! Really ready for you to come home with your adopted children.
ReplyDeleteKeep your eyes open for God in each day, each person and each circumstance. I believe He is making a path thru the desert and streams in the wasteland.
I'm proud of your strength of leadership Mark and proud of your great courage Edna (and no, you are not the lion in the Wizard of Oz, but you are courageous). Mary Evelyn would like that!
love love love
I am so glad you were able to share and fellowship with others in the same situation. I know it was wonderful to have that gift after some difficult days . A sign of Easter of hope and new birth.
ReplyDeleteI love reading the blog and sharing your experiences.
Peace, Anne
