Good News & Bad News

Good News & Bad News!

Starting with the good news– we made it! The flights were good. Kaiden travelled extremely well. We sailed through Customs too.
Our internal clocks are all mixed up. We all woke up at 1 am and then after tossing and turning for 2 hours Kaiden watched a movie (Aladdin) before falling back asleep. Then we all fell back asleep and slept in so we had to rush to get ready for our appointment.
We are currently living in the same appartment as last time. This is making us feel somewhat comfortable since we are familiar with the area. No internet yet, but the owners are checking into getting us a modem. We were VERY close to getting an apartment at Independence Square which would have been on top of a McDonalds – too bad for Darryl! We have been lucky enough to find potatoe perogies that Kaiden will eat. We were able to get ourselves a cell phone.
The other news is about our appointment - we are still a one-child family! At this point, there are no children available for us. Our facilitator says “Not to worry!” She believes that in about one week they will have a child for us. It is possible that our next appointment will be Christmas Eve or Christmas Day! Well that’s all for today!
From Ukraine,
Darryl, Jeremy & Kaiden Deck

Hi Jeremy and crew!
I never got a chance to wish you goodbye Jeremy! I've been thinking about your family quite a bit and am excited for all of you. I'm glad you had a good trip to Kiev. It sounds like you even had some fun along the way!
Now the waiting must be so hard but at least you have each other to share in that wait. It sounds like your family is bonding with every UNO game played and every movie shared.
I want to wish you all a very blessed and merry Christmas. I can't think of a better time for you to be there and I can't think of a better Christmas gift to each other.
God bless you all!

Here's hoping for a lot of sunshine!
