Just a quick post today. Please be praying for timing in our process. We know we are not the only couple in Ukraine trying to complete an adoption and we are not more important than those other couples. Please just be praying that all will be handled with integrity, and in a timely manner. We are trusting that God is bigger than any bureaucracy and His timing is perfect (not like the ball park figures that we keep hearing from humans who are sincerely trying to help).
This week, if everything goes well tomorrow morning, Igor will take our papers to Kiev and be gone through this coming Saturday (he is also taking a couple of much needed days to see his own wife and children in Odessa; we're glad he can). We are given rough time estimates for every step along the way, and of course hoping for the shorter times. Currently, unless something miraculous happens, we will return to Michigan one week later than we'd already been expecting. We'll see. Daniel may have to leave before Maxim and I if this is the case and we are not comfortable with this. Generally, I have a travel bug and I like adventure, but this would be outside even my comfort zone and Daniel's too. Please pray.
We will post more tomorrow.

We are praying! HUGS!
We are watching your progress from the edges of our seats. We pray that you Igor gets the letter where it needs to be safely and that you get a go ahead soon.
Greetings Jenna & Daniel,
The air is heavy, filled with potential for snow, just as your life stands ready for beginning and is indeed in the first throes of it. You are indeed in labor with this fourth child. We pray for you daily. May it go smoothly and with good result. May the pains of birth that you are now going through prepare each of you for the life that you are all stepping into.
