Today we had our appointment where we were offered four portfolios of available children to look at and pick from. We only had an hour for the entire process. Unfortunatelly, the portfolios shown had very sick children, ones that would not even pass Canadian government standards. We actually left the meeting this morning with one portfolio in hand. We picked out a 32 month old girl to look at in an orphanage 10 hour train ride away. We had to wait the rest of the day to receive approval, but in the mean time, our agency found out more information which proved to be unfavorable, as the little girl was sicker than indicated in her file. We had to spend the afternoon cancelling our request and signing up for a new appointment. We just found out a few minutes ago that it should be sometime Tuesday. Although we're disappointed, we believe that everything happens for a reason and we're looking forward to our appointment on Tuesday.
So, now we'll have 4 days taking in the sights of Kiev and enjoy ourselves.

We are sorry to hear that this first attempt did not go as well as could be. I hope that come Tuesday this memory will be long gone as you prepare to travel to meet your little one. We will keep you in our prayers. Good Luck!
We just want you to know that you both are in our thoughts and prayers while you make this amazing journey in your life. We are sorry that the first meeting did not go well, but as Sylvia says "things happen for a reason". Whatever that reason may be, you are still heading towards one of the greatest experiences of your lives. We know things will work out for you. Keep good thoughts!!!
