On a lighter note, I deliver to you the 12 days of Christmas as it is now in Ukraine. I realize that this will mainly cater to those of you who have been through this process, so maybe more of you need to get over here! Go ahead and sing the song in your heads. Ahem....

I started out with such a feeling of disappointment and finished laughing so hard my sides hurt. Oh how I've been praying and now hope that you have much better news at the close of today!

Hi,
I just found your blog. Wow, two trips in one year. We were there last year probably at the same time you were, though not in the same place. We arrived on December 10, 2007 and left January 16, 2008. We did make another trip in March/April, but that's a long story.
You're brave. LOL Seriously, it must be easier the second time since you've know the ropes?
Best wishes for court!

Okay. Landon and I both laughed. I wish I had thought to write one of those 2 years ago. It would have given me something to do during all the long hours of sitting in my flat, alone, waiting for visiting hours at the orphanage.
My 12th day of Christmas would have been "12 days of waiting (instead of the normal 10)" but I can't complain because at least we got to have a non-bogus court date.
Praying that you guys will get the signature you need, and everything else they pull out of a hat to make things difficult.
Ande you are and forever will be the king o'the adoption bloggers. Dude... It almost tops the Commode post, which is a personal fav even to this day.
You and Paula hang tight. Let me leave you with this for today... you guys posted your All I really want for Christmas video right around this time last year... I had called you guys in Kiev and talked with you and Paula about "a kid" who was in the video you were about to post. You guys will never know how thankful Mark and I are to you both for sharing your love with one of our sons. He is SUCH a light in our lives... The wild card that he was has turned out to be the most amazing gift to us thanks to your obedience in loving on him and getting to know him. Just a little faithfulness goes a long way... check out some of his pics as Santa on our blog. You will "crack up" at his video from Thanksgiving. Pun intended :)
Love y'all...
