New SDA meeting approval

Here we go again - We received a new SDA approval and meeting today! Let's see... that was year for the first one and 4 weeks for the second. Goes to show that working directly without ANY agency is the way to go. Our appointment is in 2.5 weeks...that means missing christmas with our daughter, and lots of other stuff, not to mention that we still have hurdles once we get there because one of the girls has a 16 yr old sibling that refuses to allow her to be adopted. 
I get a headache just thinking about this whole process. Please Please Pray for a good outcome. 
As always stay tuned
Michael

Sorry no pictures

HI All,
Lets see - it is mid November and Paula and I are still at it. At this point we are waiting to see if we can get the passports for Nadya and Albina to come to Cleveland for a holiday hosting. Our dossier has been resubmitted and we are expecting to hear in a couple of weeks if they will approve our petition for the 2 girls. So much detail that I wont bore you. ---IT'S UKRAINE--- as they (everybody) says.  The director has promised we will have the passports next week . He says they ran out of blank ones!!...
Thanks for tuning in,
 Michael
