August 21, 2007

Hello Everyone:
Tuesday was a very eventful day. We met our coordinator at 9:00AM. By 11:00 AM we had breakfast and walked past Independence Square in Kiev to the SDA. We met her counterpart there and had our appointment with the SDA psychologist. That appointment only took ten minutes and they released Sergey for adoption. After that appointment we went to the Embassy to complete more paperwork. Security was very heavy. We noticed lots of two inch thick bullet proof glass in doors, windows, etc, with lots of security cameras and guards. The Embassy staff have all been very helpful. After this appointment we went to the Mall to shop and wait for our "Direction to Travel". That arrived around 5:30 PM. By 6:30 we were packed and in the driver's van to go to Donetsk by air with our coordinator (Angelina). The flight only took an hour. We arrived 10:30PM and Angelina's husband picked us up and took us to Hotel Eba. The hotel accomdations are very nice with a restaurant on premises that has great food.
