Hello! Today we got Jonathan's passport! It only took 3 days from when the application was submitted, which is actually quick! We have one last full day in Sevastopol tomorrow then early morning on Sunday - 5am - we will pick up Jonathan from the orphanage for our Gotcha Day! We will drive to Simferopol and board for our 08:45 flight out to Kiev. We will be done with all paperwork by Tuesday... I was given time estimates once we got our court date and I already booked our plane tickets using the worst case senarios, and now we will have 4 extra days in Kiev. So we will consider this 4 extra days of 2-on-1 mommy/daddy/jonathan special time.
So tomorrow is our last day in Sevastopol. We are considering going to Balaklava where there is a naval meuseum, or take the bus again to Chersonese so we can get video footage there. We need to get some Jonathan traveling snacks too, AND make a log for the hotel owners and taxi driver to sign off on so we have some sort of a receipt for our major expenses here.
Please pray for Jonathan to transition well! I am praying for extra measures of God's grace as a new mommy to Jonathan. Thank you everyone! I have included a picture of daddy and Jonathan waiting to get the passport photo taken. This was done last Tuesday. :-)
Love seeing your pics and following your journey! Makes me long for Sevastopol a bit! Praying that the remainder of your time in Ukraine will go exactly as planned and you enjoy your time with your new son! Praise God for His provision!
