We received a call last evening from our adoption agency. Apparently the SDA gave them the wrong appointment date for us. Instead of it being Feb. 15th, it is Feb 12th! We are really excited that we're going to be able to get in sooner. I was worried though that re-booking our tickets at this late date would cost us a fortune. However, our travel agency (Golden Rule Travel - I highly recommend them if you're adopting internationally) was able to re-book the tickets for a minimum price. HUGE relief!
Now we're leaving for Ukraine on February 8th - next Friday!! I'm going to have to adjust the countdown clock :) Now the scramble to finalize everything - and Scott is out of town for work this week, and I've got a conference part of next week. We were looking forward to that extra weekend to get everything done and relax a bit (i.e. - sleep a lot!) before we go. Oh well - I guess our kids need us to come sooner.
I've got a total adrenaline rush going on right now. It's terribly hard to concentrate, knowing that we're leaving next week. Seriously, I cannot wait to get on that plane! 2 weeks from today is our actual appointment and hopefully we'll be posting some really positive news!

That is so exciting! It's every PAP's dream to get to go earlier. Can't wait to follow your adventure!
Congratulations! Nothing like an adrenaline rush to make the final week fly by! God Bless!
Congrats! How exciting!
Such an exciting time to be at the countdown phase!
We were given a day and half notice before we had to leave!! We were told on a Sunday afternoon and left very early in the am on Tuesday (and even left two children at home)!
Hope you are on your way to Kiev and can't wait for updates!
Hoping to hear good news regarding your SDA appointment tomorrow. Keep us posted!
