Answered prayer

We had 2 critical appointments this week. One was with the embassy to request an appointment
date for Christmas visa, that was granted. We go for visa on December 5 @ 12. Please continue
to pray that we get our visa and Denis can come for Christmas.

We had court on Wednesday concerning Denis's status. We continue trying to get him on the official
adoption registry. I have not heard a report on this and do not expect to for several weeks.

I leave in about a week and a half to go to Ukraine for a visit. I believe it is a critical visit
for Denis. He has had a tough month, trying to adjust to life in orphanage, 2 week hospital
stay, a good friend of his was sent to foster care, a visit from his mother with her new baby
(the first time he has seen her since spring)......a lot of tough things for a little guy.

I praise God for the contact we are able to maintain.

Wes is still home :).

Thanks for continuing to follow and pray!!!

Love,

Cathy
