In Ukraine!

Courtney and Mark have arrived safely in Ukraine! I received a short email from Courtney this morning, and they haven't been able to post to their blog. She asked that I let everyone know they were there, and that they had their appointment yesterday and it went well. They will be travelling by train tonight and are looking forward to that. Hopefully, they will be able to post to the blog later, but if not, Courtney will email me, and I'll post for them.

Thank you Courtney's mom for the update! I figured they either weren't able to access the internet or weren't able to post. I knew they arrived safely because they had dinner with another UA adoption blogger the other night, but am anxious like everyone else to hear more.

So Mark and Courtney, I'm happy you're there safely and that the appointment went well. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the details - which region you're going to, about the kid(s) you're visiting, your couple days in Kiev, was the SDA appointment what you expected, etc. Glad you were able to have a Ukrainian dinner with the other families. Ooo, I'm so excited! Love you guys.

Mark and Courtney, we're so excited for you and can't wait to hear of all the blessings God has already poured out on you. We, too, are dying to know all about your new family and how you are handling each moment. Your past few mornings must have been eventful, since God woke me up each night to pray for you. Can't wait to hear of the miracles!

We'll keep you in prayer,

Kurt & Becky Howell
