We had our appointment with the officials in Ukraine today. They showed us a few files of girls 9 yrs. old. I had my heart set on a girl around 7 but they were encouraging us to look at older girls. The first girl didn't seem like a fit for us. The second girl, however, we all were positive about. Even Viktor leaned over to me and said, "Let's get her." They give you health information, info on the status of parents, temperment, hobbies, etc. They then show you a picture. We all agreed after seeing her file that we needn't look further. We then saw her picture and she is gorgeous! She has blond hair. She is from the Odessa region. We will travel there tomorrow and meet her on Wed. Even our translator said that we were very lucky and that she seems very healthy and happy. We'll see.
To make the day even better, most of our luggage has arrived. Of course, Brynn's luggage and our toiletries are still not here but hopefully by tomorrow.
I will probably not post again until after we've met her. Oh, her name is Maria. I'll give you a full report then.
Thanks.

You should love Odessa, we did. We adopted from no.3 almost three years ago. Are you going to no.9? If so e-mail me, we have a son there and we know of a couple who is going back this week to pick up their daughters. Cara

Yea!!!!
Im reading every day Cathy.
How exciting!
Great news!
It is almost providential that you and Maria are being brought together. This is the period of time during which we commemorate the dormition of the Virgin Mary. She obviously has her hand in this.
You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
I am happy, excited and anxious all at once for you. What a wonderful journey your family is taking...not once but twice. Victor has been a wonderful addition and if Maria is the one meant for your family I know she will welcome you as much as you will her. Safe travels and our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Congrats! She sounds wonderful!
Wow, we're so excited for you Cathy. Good luck on your journey bring home your daughter. We will keep you in our prayers.
Hey Cathy!
I am thrilled for you. I cant wait to hear more. Isnt Dima a sweetheart. I DID forget to tell you that he has a hollow leg and eats ALOT! Oooops! LOL We thoroughly enjoyed his company.
Cant wait to hear all about your little Maria. I told you that you will find the child you are meant to bring home!
Hugs,
Angela
