I'm sorry I couldn't post yesterday. We had a harrowing and nerve wracking day but it all worked out. We made it to the clinic at 9 am to get Emma's physical (required for the embassy) and it was quick. We were done at 10 am with plenty of time to spare before our 11:30 embassy appointment...except we hit the biggest traffic jam!! After an hour and a half of nail biting and cursing (under our breath of course...there were kids in the car) we made it to the embassy at 11:29! It took an hour and a half but it was easy and they were very nice. They told us to call back at 3:30 to see if the Visa would be ready today (It all depends on the computers and if they go down and they can't communicate with Washington...we don't get visa til Tuesday)...so we went to lunch at TGI Friday's and spent 2 and a half hours pacing and sighing. That wait was so hard!! At exactly 3:31 (I didn't want to seem too anxious) I called and they said it was ready to be picked up!! YEAH!!!! So we have everything we need.
Our flight information is:
Luthansa: flight #9164
arriving from Chicago at 5:44 PM
Sunday, September 2
We will be going through imigration in Chicago so we won't be arriving in Terminal D like last time.
I hope to see some of you at the airport if you can make it.
We have enjoyed our ride together and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the love and support you have given to us. We couldn't have made it without you all!!!
Signing off from Ukraine!!
See you tomorrow!!

Hello Bush Family,
We have begun the process to adopt from the Ukraine and are also in Houston. Your story touched me and I'm wondering if you might be willing to share any advice, etc. to another Houston family starting the journey. We are using an agency, but it is still reassuring to hear from other families who have gone through the process. My email address is moodyschaefer@comcast.net if you have a moment and want to get in touch. We're in West Houston... thank you and congratulations on your happiness!
