All,
OK, it seems that Ukraine has had a law on the books that requires an Interpol background check prior to setting the "court date" (the date that the court rules that the boys belong to us- just prior to the 10 day wait). NOW, Ukraine has decided to enforce the law. We have a petition in our document set that asks for the Interpol check.
The background check requires, on average, 40 days (Viktor had someone else last year that took 2 months). That has to be complete BEFORE we can even set the court date.
So, what does that appear to mean right now? (Remember, things can change in an instant here.) It appears that we may all come home on 2/15. After the Interpol check is complete, Doris and I will need to return for court. Then, I will return to INDY and Doris will complete the adoption process (2 weeks more). Again, that is all subject to change.
We hope to keep up the info flow as we are aware of changes.
Perhaps "being flexible" isn't enough. I think "being vaporous" is a more fit definition for what you have to be there with the process!
ReplyDeleteOk, so we continue to pray on! Love to all of you from all of us.
ReplyDeleteOh, I was wondering, Jessica, if you've told anyone your Indian name. That might interest them over there. :)
ReplyDeleteYikes! Okay, I have missed several entries and am catching up--admired the toilet, commiserated with the various inconveniences, etc.
ReplyDeleteThen I came to this.
Ugh!
I don't know what else to say except that I'm so sorry that this glitch may hinder the process by several days, weeks, months...and that you have no way of knowing if it will be days, weeks or months.
It's a different way to live. People in Ukraine must have adjusted to feeling that their lives are not their own...that they have very little control.
Something difficult for an American to swallow. It's hard to sit over here and feel so helpless, reading it. I can only imagine how it feels to be living it. May the Lord grant you a sense of peace while you wait, trusting in Him.
