Here is why its a miracle....first off....its Ukraine, nothing is done quickly here....or exactly the same for that matter. Second, the passport "normally" takes a minimum of 5-10 business days to receive. E's passport?????? 3 BUSINESS DAYS!!!!! That's right, 3 business days. I cried and screamed "Praise Jesus" in the middle of McDonalds here in Ukraine (that's where we were when we got the call).
I have to give thanks to The Lord too, because E is really acting like herself again. She has not even talked on her cell phone today!!!!!! That is HUGE!!!! We went to Sky Mall, which reminds you of a large American indoor mall. E needed shoes (the only pair she has is the pair she is wearing, which I bought for her when she was in the orphanage). We were also shopping with the other adoptive family that is staying at the missionary house, thier daughter M....and we met up with ANOTHER adoptive mom and her son D. Ok, so D is a little cutie and I think E thought so too. But the BEST part was that she yet another child that was going to America. Now both M and D will be living in Alabama, so I am already making arrangements for us to visit Alabama this summer!! I just SO excited to see E laughing and having such a good time. I think it was also reassuring to her to met kids here that she knows she will see in America.
FYI, here is a picture by a car at the mall she wanted me to take. She is so funny.
OHHHH, another special moment today.....she came out of her room this morning and her hair was all frizzed out. She points to her hair and says "Maaaaama!" So I went to her room with her and flat ironed her hair for her. Woohoo, its these little things that just fill my heart with joy!!!
BTW, speaking of hair, J took L to get her hair done too. She went shorter! So cute. And I'll throw a picture of F in for good measure.
Please pray for all our processes tomorrow to go smoothly and for safe travels on Wedneday!!
Love to you all!!!
