The gates at the NAC.

This is our facilitator.

Here we are outside of the NAC

October 26, 2005

We had our second appointment today. It was much better. We are going to see a little boy in the Donetsk Region. It is around 700 km southeast of Kiev. He turned two in July, but has overall delays. They tell us that is normal for a child who has spent his life in a crib. Other than that he is supposed to be healthy. We are trying not to get our hopes up to high. We will probably leave tomorrow evening on the night train. We are waiting for a form from the NAC giving us permission to see him. If we accept him we stay in the Region and finish the adoption. If we decline we come back and wait for a third appointment. We probably won't be able to update this blog for a couple of days. We still have our cell phone but the international reception is poor.
