A Wonderful Day

Our translator/facilitator picked us up just after noon today. We first went to the notary office in order to notarize our Petition to Adopt. To become a notary in Ukraine, extensive educational requirements almost as demanding as those of a lawyer are required.

We then went to Alex's Internot. Alex met us outside and brought us in to the Social Workers Office. Dina, the Social Worker met with us, both asking us questions as well as answering our questions.

Alex was very excited to have us visit his Internot. He took us to the playroom and introduced us to all of his classmates and friends. We also met his wonderful caretaker, Natalie. Natalie cares for Alex's group and the children love and care for her very much.

We also had the honor of meeting Babushka Lela. Lela's dedication to the children of Internot #4 is legendary. Due to her consistent work for many years, the children are introduced to the loving presence of God and shown that God can and does work miracles in each and every one of their lives.

Our day was absolutely wonderful! With much love, Cynthia
