Updates
Well we are officially the parents of Artem/Cody. We had our court appointment on Tuesday and were hoping to have court in Ladyzhin this week also, but that isn't going to happen, unfortunately. I talked to Alex this morning and the news. timewise, doesn't sound good, although he gave nothing specific. We need to know when to change Brad's ticket to, as it costs a lot everytime you change it and we already changed it once. I have not seen either boy but I am going to move to Bila TSerka this weekend if I have to do it myself. I was told Elena went to Ladyzhin today to take papers, why she would go without us I do not understand. We did not arrange things at home with this long of a stay for both of us in mind. If Brad could go home I could take the waiting with less stress. I am of course very happy that Cody's court date is over and went well. We are able to get him and start collecting his passport etc. on April 7th. I know in the long run everthing will work out, but for now I have many concerns and am finding it hard to wait. Hope to have good news about Vlad/Logan soon.

Congratulations on your new son! I am sorry to hear you didn't get the court date for Vlad yet.:( Hang in there, hopefully it will be very soon and you can start counting down the days till you get him out of that place. It must be so hard thinking of him there, while you wait for things to get done. I pray for him every night, that God will keep him safe until you walk in and swoop him away!:)
God Bless you and your family! I am so happy for you!!

Keep your head up, love! You know nothing in Ukraine is ever easy! We're all thinking of you and praying over you here in the States....you are not alone! ---Andrea Roberts, Reece's Rainbow Down Syndrome Adoption Ministry
Lin, I so agree with Amy and Andrea. Thank you so much for your perseverence. I wish there was more we could do but know there are many, many people here praying for you and your little boys!
We are ecstatic about Artem and will anxiously wait with you for similar new about Vlad.

Lin,
I'm so glad to hear that you had your court date for Cody. I can't imagine how frustrating it is to be waiting for an unknown time for Logan.....but you are doing such a HUGE thing by adopting from that institution and sometimes being the first also means being the one stuck there the longest. But I know, without a doubt, that your family's perserverance will open doors for so many other children there. We're praying for lots of good news soon and that God will help you hang on until it comes! (((HUGS)))
I am sorry you are having to go through this frustration. Congratulations on your one new son - hopefully you will be able to report the second one if final as well. I am praying that you will get this all worked out so that there is a clearer picture of what is going to happen and when.

Oh gosh, I am sorry to hear you are having issues getting over to see the boys. It sounds like Ladyzhin (sp?) is really far away. I too would be very upset about not seeing the children for so long, and I know DH would be very upset. After a while I gave everything to God, all my worries aabout timelines, about home, about NOT being able to post to our blog at all, or email anyone.
I knew He had a plan for us, and I just went with the flow. It isn't always easy to do, especially when you are far from home. I know you are a strong woman or you would not have made it this far. praying for visits to both boys soon.
Hugs from us,
Tom and Kris
