Happy #16 Jessica!!!!!!

My second child was born sixteen years ago today at 2240. It was a painful birth (aren't they all??)but well worth it!!! We are grateful to God for blessing us with her. I am hoping that the current "birth" process that I am in is fading. This one is not physically painful, just more of an on going pain as "normal" life is disrupted, familiarity is a distant memory, and we are at the mercy of a different governmental system.
Tuesday is when the real action begins. We are free to get the appropriate paperwork needed for passports then head to Kiev. There are four families, eight children, that will need to get a lot of paperwork done before we can move on. Prayer support is requested. It sounds like the day is non-stop with picking up paperwork, getting it notorized, etc.... Our goal is to get the kids on the way out of town, unsure what the facilitators plans are, they return Monday.
After we booked our tickets for Friday on Lufthansa, we learned their pilots are having a strike Mon-Thursday this week. Pray that we can get all the paperwork done and that we will be able to get our flight on Friday without any hitches.
Many thanks, Doris
