On February 7, 2007 we officially made the decision to adopt from Ukraine. And on November 7, 2007 we were sitting in the office of the SDA (Ukraine's State Department of Adoption).
EXACTLY NINE MONTHS LATER :)
At 9AM that Wednesday morning, in Room 14, we were shown the photos of 6 little boys, all between the ages of 2 and 7. There were some precious faces in those files, but none seemed to be our boy. Then finally the kind lady showed us one more file, the file that melted our hearts! We listened to the information, but we knew we'd found our son.
We were told we could pick up the paperwork on Thursday afternoon, and then may proceed to his region. The plan was to leave very early on Friday morning (Nov 9th) and drive to the southernmost part of Donetsk to see the boy.
