Appeal Status Update
Good Morning everyone.
I just received a call from Heidi. Today was the best day of their lives. They just picked up the court documents for all four children. They met with the prosecutor who is also the best adoption lawyer in town. He called two of his staff and they went to the orphanage with Heidi and Erik and stayed with them until things were finished. There they met with the director's boss and a regional person who kicked butt. The prosecutor squashed the appeal, and after two hours Heidi and Erik were granted final permission to remove the children today. This was after the children were asked once again if they wanted to be adopted and go to America. The two girls said Sasha will speak for them. He said "YES." The children are being prepared at this minute to walk out of the orphanage and move to the suite in the hotel with Heidi and Erik. They are also going to pick up Max this afternoon. So their entire family will be assembled and together for the first time. They discovered that there are already passports in their names, so they truly hope to be out of there and off to Kiev by Tuesday.
Praise God and thank all of you for supporting them during this very difficult process. We have a new family coming home and I have four new grandchildren.

What a true blessing. God did prevail. Congrtulations and we can't wait to see that first picture of all of you together. Great job in the preseverance. It is truly a difficult time in another country with all of the controversy, but you guys did it. You are now wonderfully proud parents to four beautiful children. Now comes the fun. Enjoy you time together and remember the hard times will not last long and you will soon be enjoying every minute.
