And that's not necessarily good. The adoption process last year with Eli and Isaac was tremendously stressful. I can't believe we are here, doing this all over again. I know, it should be easier this time around, but that doesn't change the fact that I have emotional traumas associated with this place. Nothing compared to the emotional traumas my boys have endured, but it's still hard for me to return.
Having said that, Kiev is a beautiful, fascinating city, and we are staying right in the heart of it. Our apartment for the next 3.5 days is half a block off Independence Square. We won't get lost! This is the nicest apartment I've seen in Ukraine (for the whopping fee of $85/night). Curt and I are trying to couch this as a romantic getaway.
The flight wasn't too terrible. Everything was on time and there was no drama. I love the German airports and always enjoy our layovers in Munich, or as with today (yesterday?), Frankfurt. It was good to see Victor's smiling face when we got through customs in Kiev. We had our first dill-laced meal, are stocked up with what we need, and plan to have a lazy day tomorrow before our SDA appointment on Tuesday. Prayers for a speedy and smooth process are always appreciated!
Got you covered on the prayer front!
