Jeff is in Odessa working with our in-region facilitator to get the permission to separate the boy. They went to the department that makes these decisions and were told - no, they will not separate the boy. They are filing a petition and running around Odessa trying to get this petition approved by many people as I type. I will not know until later how this turns out. If the petition is not approved, we have run out of options and must return home.
I remained back in the little city where the orphange is located, running errands and getting papers signed to allow the process to continue. The woman who runs the missionary has a son who teaches English, so he has been my escort.
However, I have just found out during these errands that all the official paperwork from Kiev has my name incorrect. They put my maiden last name instead of my married last name. Now, all the paperwork from Kiev must be redone and resent in order for us to proceed.
We keep hitting many, many roadblocks and yet we still feel that this is our child.

KL and Jeff, I'm sending all my positive thoughts and prayers your way. I know this is an emotionally draining time, but stay strong and keep positive. You have a lot of support back here. This is one lucky boy to have people fight so hard for him. Lots of love, Carrie
Once again, keep hanging in there! "Be Strong!!" said the warrior! Let us know what you need, you will obviously have our thoughts and prayers but if there's anything else, you just name it! I still believe this is meant to be...good luck!
The culture and customs are so different over there. It is difficult for us to understand why things are happening as they are. Sometimes these things break your way at the last minute. Wishing you the best and praying that you come home certain that you did all you could.
