"Elderly Foreigners"

Well, the adoption law that the Ukraine parliment had been trying to pass went through its second reading and was passed to the president for signing. This bill would make me (Michael) too old to adopt Katya or any other orphan in Ukraine.
We wouldn't have felt so bad about this, but our dossier had not been approved and we had not been given an appointment date at SDA. There were many rumors about if it had been signed and how it would be implemented.
SO......... we prayed and we asked our church family to pray.
We heard from our facilitator in Ukraine that they were expecting we would be given an appointment date May 31, but May 31 came and went and none was received.
BUT ! ! ! ! ! ! ! On June 5 we received an appointment date ! ! ! ! !
And even better news came two days later that the president HAD NOT signed the bill and wasn't going to sign it because he didn't recognize the parliament as being legitimate since he had fired them all on April 2.
