I just heard from Victor. He expects to have Sasha's international passport in three days. The issues appear to have been straightened out, and now it's just a matter of waiting for everything to be processed. With passport in hand, Sasha will travel to Kiev for the required medical exam, then when I arrive we will have our final embassy appointment. That *should* be it. I hesitate to take anything for granted these days. I am scheduled to leave Tulsa Jan 20, arrive Kiev Jan 21, and fly home with Alexander Curtis Powell Jan 23.
In the meantime, Sasha has been taking English lessons at Anya and Den's house. He is doing well by all reports. Better than I am, it seems. I am fighting off a nasty illness. As hard as it was to leave Sasha in Ukraine, it is probably better than I am sick at home than sick in Ukraine.
So now we all just count the days.
Wonderful news! Praying for things to go smoothly and to be back with that precious boy as soon as possible.
