Just in case you are keeping score, we are winning the spiritual battle (I know, the battle is already won but....)

We are in our new home and are very happy and the kids are very happy. Even the cat looks happy (at least one does, the other is hiding).

Great news, the mean lady on a power trip in Ukraine gave "Flower" permission to travel!!  We are still not completely out of the woods yet as the host program needs several more signatures from other levels and then visas, but "Flower" should not be singled out any longer. Praise the Lord! We are so VERY happy.

Please keep praying, it's working!

 

PS the cleaning lady was Brazilian but just has a Russian name

Hi Michelle, So sorry to hear about your medical situation. I hope all the tests bring good news. In 2003 I had two surgeries for suspected cancer and neither turned out to be anything. So keep your spirits up. I am glad to hear that Flower is pone step closer to being able to come for the holidays. Is URGEX bringing other kids from Sakhnovschina? You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Hugs,
Jeanne

Hi Michelle!
