Well today was pretty much a right off. We found out early this morning the passport office needed a couple more documents, so we ran around gathering them and delivered the full passport package to the office around 10:00am. We were told they would approve this after lunch. 2:00, 3:00 then 4:00 pm came and still no word. We decided to go back to the office and wait. Finally at 5:30 the Chief called us into his office and told us we has not been able to get the people he needs to aprove our request. We need this approval because we had asked for a slightly different passport then the norm. We require Sophia to get a red passport (the old style as of this year) as opposed to the new blue passport. This is important because a red passport can be created within a couple of hours whereas the blue is totally digital and takes 10 days.
We were asked to go back at 10:00am tomorrow to get the documents and deliver then to Uzgorod and hopefully within an hour leave with Sophia's new passport. This is still totally up in the air, so watch and shoot.
On a positive note, tomorrow we will be picking up our daughter and saying our goodbyes to the orphanage. If all goes well we will not have time to post anything tomorrow as we will be on a train to Kiev. So hopefully we get the RED PASSPORT!

Courage. Patience. The end justifies the means.
Sounds frustrating - but you are so close to the light at the end of the tunnel!!
"Your daughter" has a lovely ring to it! See you soon...

Nothing so great comes easy - just call it your labour pains, laugh about it and in a few days it will be all over!
No matter how you cut it, it is still awesome!
