Day 21 - More Paperwork

This morning Lisa and I had to go to the Government offices to meet with the Juvenile Services. They informed us that the paperwork we are expecting to pick-up will be ready at 3:00pm this afternoon. This freed up some time so we hopped in a taxi and went to see Halina. Again she was very happy to see us but seems a little cranky again. We played for about an hour, and at 11:20 (like clock work) she had had enough. So started her tantrums, but we knew that it was lunch time so we sat her down and let the care givers go through their lunch routine.

On our way back to our room, we received a call from the immigration doctor in Kiev. She wanted to know details about coming complete the immigration medical. So we tracked down the orphanage director and found out the remaining blood tests we had ordered would not be ready until Wednesday. We are going to try to arrange her to travel here for Thursday morning, complete the medical and send her home on Thursday night. We also found out that Victor was at the Canadian Embassy this morning to pick-up the necessary paperwork for the immigration medical. Two big steps being completed simultaneously, gotta like that. Things may be slow, but at least we had some progress.
