Update

Update for those that are interested:
I received our final document on Friday afternoon, so I will be mailing all of the 32 documents this afternoon, after having this last one notarized and apostilled. I checked with our facilitator today, whether there was anyway to expedite the process once it was in the Ukraine. He told me not really. We are really pushing the limits with our timing, but that we should continue and keep praying that the SDA will not use the full allotment of time.
This means that after our dossier gets submitted there is usually a 5 week waiting period before we hear word, then they give us about 2 weeks to get over there for our first appointment. We are hoping that they wont take 4 weeks to review our documents and a week to invite us over, instead they take 2-3 weeks to review and about 3 days to invite, cutting down the time a little. Then instead of the full 10 day wait in between the SDA appointment and our court appearance, we are hoping they will only take 5 or 6 days. They used to only take 3-4 days, but lately they have been taking the full 10 days. Each little difference in time, will allow for us to get things accomplished a little quicker and hopefully, her home sooner. Also we are trying really hard to be able to get done to at least the court appearance, this calendar year. If we can get at least that far we can claim stuff on our taxes, which will help us be able to afford our expenses. That would be a huge blessing!

So PLEASE pray for our family. We need all the prayers we can get and we know that the Lord is listening.
And as always, please pass our story on to anyone that might feel willing to help us out. We are struggling to find money for everything, and every little bit helps. :)
Thanks

On a completely different note,
My beautiful neighbor Maren Dille just published her first book. It is a small chapter book that is geared towards 8-12 year olds. It is a cute little story about a group of boys their favorite baseball and a girl they like named Molly Martin. My kids LOVE it and were so excited to have the author sign their copy of it! You can buy your own copy of the book on Amazon.com Your kids will love it!!
