No decision yet

We're still waiting to get a decision from the appeal's court whether or not the prosecutor's application will be thrown out.  First they said we'd know Tuesday, then Thursday, then today, and now they're saying maybe Monday.  We don't know what the problem is or why it's taking so long.  Hopefully we'll be able to get our final paperwork from the court on Monday so we can go get Vacya from camp.  We're going to visit him again tomorrow, but it will be hard to tell him that we still can't take him with us.

We've been in Ukraine now for 14 weeks, not counting the 3 weeks that we were home at the end of May/ beginning of June.  We can't afford for Joe to miss any more work, so he's probably going home next Sunday, August 3rd.  Luckily I have a school schedule and still have a few more weeks left before the new school year starts.  We're hoping that we can get everything done here in Simferopol during the next week so we can all go up to Kiev together before Joe has to fly out.  Then hopefully Vacya and I will be able to follow just a few days later.  Please keep praying for things to move along quickly.  We're really ready to be home!

So sorry that you are having such a hard time. It seems that the judge could just overrule the prosecutor. What is the prosecutor thinking anyway. Does he not see that this boy is going to a wonderful home. Hope you get some good news soon.

Just caught up on your blog and saw with surprise that you are still delayed! Many prayers being said for you and over you. Knowing this is just a nusiance and meaningless threat doesn't help so praying God's peace for you as well. It does make you appreciate America, you get to go home eventually but the locals have to deal with this day in and day out...so glad there is one less orphan in Ukraine because of you!
