New adoption appointment and departure date

We found out this past weekend that our SDA (adoption) appointment has been rescheduled for May 11.  We were very thankful to have a confirmed appointment but we were scheduled to arrive in Kiev on April 30 so we had another decision to make - stick with our flight scheduled to depart this Friday or rebook. Fortunately, our flight was with British Airways and there is no change fee so I rebooked our flight today (I sure hope that the third booked flight is the lucky ticket!).

We will be leaving Minneapolis on May 6, spending May 7 in London (at our choosing) and arriving in Kiev on May 8.  The revised itinerary works better for Paul and Max.  Paul needs a few more work days and Max really wanted to spend a day in London (this also allows him to attend school for another week).  We want to see Kirill as soon as possible so the delay is very difficult and you do question if you are making the right decision by remaining at home during this time period.  We trust we have made the right decision.

A delay

Unfortunately our trip is being delayed.  We will not be leaving on April 10 as we originally thought.  (To complicated to go into the reasons for the delay.)  Looks like we will need to be in Kiev on May 1 for an appointment at the Adoption Center a few days later.  We are hoping and praying there are no further delays.
