Merry Christmas! We wish you were here to celebrate with us. All day today as we have been opening presents, we have been thinking about what it is going to be like for you next year. Will you understand what we are doing? How good will your english be by then? Will you understand our prank gifts? How will we keep gifts a secret from you? So prepare to be surprised.
We have to get back on the paperwork for you. While the last month was going by, Ukraine decided to change the name of the adoption agency, so we get to go redo all the paperwork with new titles on it! And several other forms need to be changed as well. So, once I get Christmas stuff put away, I will get to work on the forms. My goal is to get it off by the 15th of January. We have an appointment to submit the paperwork to Kiev on February 14th - Valentines Day - I thought that was special!
Oh, I heard from the family that hosted Sergiey. They are trying to adopt him and his little brother Max. I am sure he will be happy when he hears the news - they have had a lot of problems trying to get in touch with him also. Anyway, we still miss you and can't wait. Hopefully time will fly by and you will be with us before you know it.
Love,
Bethany, Amanda, G3, & G4
