Dear Son,

Good News! We received our approval/registration number yesterday!! Wahooo (doing a little dance)!! :lol:

I immediately wrote a letter requesting an appointment sometime between Jan 15th-Feb 15th. Most likely, it will be February or March. If it moves beyond that, then I will have to redo the entire dossier. But don't you worry, I'll do whatever it takes to find you and bring you home! Now, we wait some more for the NAC to reply to my appointment request.

Rumor has it, that they are not sending out confirmation letters until after the new year. It seems that policies change almost daily in Ukraine, so there is no sense in getting all stressed out - just go with the flow.

I like to imagine that all of these delays are necessary moments of fate that will create just the right conditions for us to meet.

Love,
Dad
