Bad news first....there has been 1 confirmed case of the flu in the Cox household, but Truman has taken great care of me and I love him for it!! Now for the good news - the pre-determined "quotas" have officially been recinded (to some degree). Ukraine is now allowing 1453 (?) international adoptions of kids in any category (now that is all countries combined). It's still way better than the previous established quotas. The even better news is that our immigration form came today. Talk about lightning speed! The next step is to have the remaining documents notarized, certified and then apostilled. I'm guessing that can happen in the next 2 weeks or so. I also have to put together some pictures of us, our house & our familes to include in the dossier. SO....this dossier should be done in January!!! Whoohoo!
Love,
Susan & Truman

WOW! I haven't looked at your blog in quite sometime! Is it fair for me to say (or can you see me - with blonde highlights!) saying "I don't understand!" How you are learning what all to do and doing all this is beyond me!? But YEAH for you!!!! Keep up the good work! and email if something really big happens soon....travel dates etc!
YEA!!! That's awesome! Now bring on that appointment!
Sorry about the flu. Some of my kids just got over it last week.
But, I was just as excited when I first read the same news you posted. This is so much better, although I can't understand why there is a quota at all.
Sounds like you are accomplishing a lot for your adoption. :)
