#7 - And All Manner of Things Shall Be Well

posted Wednesday, 29 September 2004

Hi all, just a quick note...Ruslan, Oksana, and Max are now officially ours!  Court was yesterday and all went smoothly.  From there we went chasing around the region for birth certificates and other documents.  It ended up being  a fifteen hour day.  Today Jennie went with Dima back to Chernigiv to do the paperwork for the children's passports.  Tomorrow we go to the US Embassy (Thursday) .  More later.  Love to all.  Hallelujah!  Jennie

 

In the Courtroom (note lockup behind us): John and Jennie, orphanage director (by Ruslan), representive from the Inspector's office (like our DSS, I think) and our three new family members.

Hi,
I think I left you a message on the above blog board, but not sure I did it right. So here goes again. Lydia sent me your blog address today. I just loved reading your diary and the pictures of the children are beautiful. I can't wait to see them. I'm taking pictues to church on Sunday for all of St. Jude's to See. My prayers are with you and especially for Max to get better. Love to you all. Margie
