Hi there. Our names are Oleg and Nataliya, we were born in Odessa, Ukraine and immigrated to upstate NY in 1996. We are high school sweethearts and have been married for 21 years. We have 2 wonderful bio kids - 20-year old son Alex and a 6-year old daughter Victoria. We started our international adoption journey in September 2006, and in January 2008 we finally brought home our 10 (now 11)-year daughter Rachel from our hometown Odessa in Ukraine.

We are still waiting for our dossier to be submitted to the State Department of Adoptions. It's hard not knowing when we'll be going to Ukraine. In most cases people get an appointment date in about 3 months after dossier was submitted. For example, one family submitted on April 30th and found yesterday that their appointment is July 26th. However, another family submitted on February 19th, and also found out yesterday that their appointment is at the end of July. So we'll wait and see.
I still think that the waiting to get our dossiers submitted is much harder then the wait to here back from the SDA. My oppinion might change once we enter that stage, but the waiting to submit is rough.
ReplyDeleteHello - Thank you for writing. We are waiting in Kiev for a second appointment at this time. We wish you the best.
