We Are In Tulchyn

We left at 9:30 a.m. from Kiev and drove 4 hours to the town of Vinnytsia where we changed drivers and also picked up the orphanage director who was at a conference there. Our new driver was a Christian man who spends his time caring for orphans and had actually been to Roman's orphange before and was headed there with a load of gifts and supplies. He drove us to Tulchyn with the director and our facilitator. We arrived in Tulchyn around 3:30 p.m. and where able to meet with Roman’s social worker and begin the process of paper work. Then we went to the orphanage around 5:30 and spent 40 minutes with Roman before his bedtime.

The Lord answered all our prayer. He took to us right away and especially likes his mommy.

Tomorrow we have appt at 8 a.m. with social worker.

Please pray for the following:

  • All paper work completed tomorrow. (Which would be a miracle).
  • Our facilitator Svetlana will talk to the judge personally tomorrow to try and set-up an early appointment.
  • Begin to pray for the passport process for Roman.
  • Praise the Lord Roman is recovering well from his surgery and doing well. He seems to be bonding with us.

We'll write again when we can.

Blessings,

Jim and Karen
