Next Step
A letter
Hello Donna, for the last two weeks she has been preparing for the concert dedicated to the Victory Day. She danced in one dance of the concert. Because of rehearsals she had very few free time and she almost did not do her self-study of English. The only what she studied was when we studied together while our meetings. For the next two weeks she will practice dancing waltz for the "The last school bell". This is a traditional celebrations of the end of the academic year. She showed me the presents that you sent to her through Kathy. We read your letters. Out of these letters she already knows that you want to adopt her. I asked her what she thinks about adoption. She said she wants to have a family and to leave to America. When she was showing me her photos she did comments like "these are my mom and dad", "This is my home", "This is my grandmother". She liked a lot the book about Kentucky. She is a very carefull girl. She does not give her cloths to laundry, but washes everything herself caring about the form,condition and safety of them. She likes needlwork. Some of her clothes she decorates with beads... As you asked on behalf of you I gave her a hug.
Yours,
Natasha.
Gosh it seems like we go days and weeks with nothing to tell then in one day everything happens. We met with Kathy, Nancy and two other couples who are going through the adoption process on Saturday May 9th. She went over everything we had to do for the Dossier. We are prepared to begin but have to wait for INS to send us the I-71H form. Once this is in hand we can start the Dossier. Kathy assures us it won't take long to complete.
We were lucky enough to get more pictures of her that was taken while they were in the Ukraine in April.
So we will update again once we get INS approval so you can count down the days till we get a court date to pick her up....We cant wait
Love,
Jeff and Donna
