Everything goes very quickly and then stops and is sssssoooooo sloooooow! Then it speeds up again.

The 12 page essay that is our home study is now completed by our case worker. We were sent a copy for our approval along with some requests for more documents. So now our home study is complete as of this week. We finished all of our requirements at the first of August. Did not realize that it would be over a month before it was sent off. This week it is to be sent to Montgomery and then to the CIS in Atlanta. The good news is that the home study is also being sent to Lifeline’s representative in Kiev to get a date for the submitting of the dossier and getting a date to come. USUALLY the home study is sent along with the dossier after acceptance from CIS in Atlanta. We hope that this will speed up the process. We have been praying for “Before Winter” and now it might be a reality to be in Ukraine in Dec or Jan. We will have to wait and see what God brings about for us.

We have been praying that God would push the documents through quickly and truthfully have been disappointed that the home study was still in the case worker's hand. However God's plan is best for now it can be sent to Ukraine as well as CIS.

Please continue to pray for the kids, their safety, that they would desire to be adopted and that God will continue to provide the funds to complete this task.

Thanks, Leslie
