Another email from our Translator, Inna!

Well gang....Inna made it thru the line at the NAC and was able to speak directly to the NAC director and discussed the February appointment instead of after March and now it looks like the AC is going to try to get us in during February...but then we know that what really will take place will be in the infamous 'Dec-Jan letter' many of us are waiting for. Those of us who made the deadline before Sept 20th cut-off with our dossiers get to have our appointments now it seems after March 2006 but luckily Inna knows that we would have to shut our business down completely to be in Ukraine after June so we are very grateful the NAC director took this in to account.
NOW we will continue to pray and keep busy with all the planning.

We are going to take time out and burn up a few of our west coast airmiles and visit the folks for a week in early December back in Minneapolis. Hard to get flights out of Alaska at holiday time so will have an early Christmas with them. Luckily, it only will cost us $10 each to fly on our AlaskaAirlines award miles - so can't beat that deal. Wish we could have used it toward the adoption fares but Alaska Airlines doesn't offer that opportunity...so we are grateful in any case to see the folks.
