Hello,
Yesterday was a crazy day. We waited to hear what time we would go to court most of the day. Then we were waiting on a document to be signed by the inspector. She gave did not want to sign the document because she wanted us to adopt the sister (4 yrs. old) that wasn't even on Vitalik's documents. The SDA tried to convience her it was impossible for us to adopt her. she still refused. Natalya thinks maybe her boss wants something. in the mean time, the judge is waiting for us and we cant come before we have this document. The Director of the orphange is waiting on us, we are waiting on this document. After 3:00pm the judge decides he is going on vacation. He said we wont have court until Monday 10/22. Unbelievable!!
I think the SDA phoned him and he agreed to give us court on Friday. That was the best he could do.
Today, the inspector still didn't help us. The SDA tried to phone her boss, but he wasn't there. Tomorrow, SDA we try again with this inspector. If they don't cooperate then we will go to the region where the sister is and appeal to that director. This is a 2 hour drive from here.
We are standing and believing. WE WILL HAVE COURT! The Lord has given us many scriptures to stand on. We are standing!
PSalm 34:19 Many are the afflications of the Righteous: but the Lord delivers him out of all of them. Praise God :)
Prayer request: the inspector to agree and sign papers tomorrow.
Thank you for praying,
Jeri

Jeri & Charles,
This post brings back so many memories for us. We had days like this that reminded us we had to totally turn everything over to God. The Ukrainian way of doing things is baffling to Americans. We learned that we could not force our way through issues like those you are experiencing. It was not a fun lesson to learn.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
God has a perfect plan for you and your new son!
I am praying that the inspector (is this the social worker?) will give you approval to adopt Vitalik and that you will have court on Oct 22... all without making the trip to the other internot.
Ooops! I guess Friday is October 19...
We came across your blog from Sean and Tracey's blog. We'll be praying for your court date.
We're waiting our appointment date, but hope to travel in January.
