Our submission has been with SDA for almost a week and we are on pins and needles waiting for our appointment date. We wake up every morning and rush to the computer to check our e-mail. We scour the mail through the coupons and credit card offers for a letter with a foreign stamp. It's kind of like sending boxtops when you were a kid and waiting for the cereal company to send you the prize.
In the meantime, like Pam said in her previous post, I am consumed with the desire to spruce up the house, especially the kids rooms. I work with a smile on my face imagining their faces when we walk into the orphanage, holding them in my arms, hearing the judge approve of the adoption and all of us getting on the plane to come home. I pray that the reality will match the dream.
Psalm 146:17-19 "The Lord is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His deeds. The Lord is near all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will also hear their cry and will save them."

Praying that you hear something soon. I can't imagine hearing as fast as families are now - when we submitted last year it took a month & a half to get a travel date! Also, we never did get the letter in the mail from the SDA, only a call from our facilitator.
Good luck!
Found your blog today, congratulations on submission, praying for a quick process in Ukraine for you! We too did not get the letter, but a phone call last time...You'll never forget where you were when you heard the news! God Bless!
