Pinch Hitting Meshack

Hello!! Meshack(I), will try to fill you all in since Tami won't be able to for a while. Tami said the passport was finally in her possession in the afternoon Odessa time, and Maddie and her were going to Kiev as soon as transportation was available. Tami was catiously optimistic, but it looks like a trip to AMC and the US embassy on Friday. If all goes well then Mom and Maddie will be arriving home at 7:30pm local time Saturday night. She will pick back up on blogging as soon as technolgy is available. Thanks to all for your compassion, kind words and encouragement.
Tami and I are grateful to all!

Meshack and Maddie's brothers and sister

Praying for a seamless trip home. Can't something go better than expected with this adoption? ;)

Can't wait to hear how Maddie and her siblings get along. It looks like the long journey is nearly over, and just about to begin.

Since Tami had not written a blog yesterday, I was hopeful that Maddie's passport had arrived and they were busy getting to Kiev. I am so happy to hear that that is what happened. Thank you for updating all of us here reading her blog. Please blog today to let us know how things went and if they are flying home on Sat. So happy that your family will soon be home and together.

I have been reading your blog... I know exactly how you feel and believe me in saying you are not alone. So hard to enjoy when inside you are screaming to get to your home and comfort. Best of luck to you. When you read your post in 6 years.... all this emotions will come back. Keep writing good and bad it really is part of this long journey. Bless you.
