Dossier sent to Ukraine

It really started with our trip to Richmond yesterday.  We left at 5:30a, submitted the documents at 9:15a, and were told they would be ready in 30minutes.  I had just semi-joked with Melissa about what we were going to do if it only took 30minutes.  We had expected to be there all day so that was nice.  We grew up in California so we spent some time wandering around the Virginia Capital.  By 11am we were headed home after mailing the dossier from FedEx to our agent in Georgia (USA).

The dossier is a large set of documents that are hard to get, must be signed by someone in authority, notarized, and then apostiled.  When the FedEx person asked how much they were worth I had to think for a second on how to respond.  That was the culmination of all the work we and others have been doing for the last several months.  So now we will hear when the translated version gets submitted to the SDA (early next week?), when the SDA approves, and then for our SDA appointment.

We spent the rest of the day yesterday resting and going out to Bonefish... probably our first formal date in 7 months.  It was nice.

Tonight it was sent out from Georgia to Ukraine to be translated.

So current "best" case scenario... we get an appointment around December 6th.  Considering how God has moved this stuff along at such an accelerated pace, blowing open doors, I'm going to expect a miracle for the 24th of November.
