Our dossier (all the legal paperwork we stressed over the past few weeks!) began its journey to Ukraine last Wednesday, October 13! When our dossier arrives in Ukraine, it will be translated, notarized and submitted to Ukrainian State Department for Adoption and Protection of Rights of the Child (SDAPRC), the only legal Ukrainian authority for adoptions (under the Minister for Family, Youth and Sports) on Thursday, October 28th!! It will be checked for completeness within a period of five to ten working days. If any mistakes are found, the dossiers will be returned.
**Please pray no mistakes are found! Maria, our social worker with our adoption agency says our dossier was perfect, so we are praying the SDA agrees!!
If the dossier conforms to all requirements, an application will be approved and we will receive a confirmation of registration along with an appointment letter from the SDAPRC. We will then receive an invitation to visit the SDAPRC on a specific appointment date. On our behalf, Yuri, our facilitator in Ukraine, will be requesting the earliest travel date available. This could be as early as 7-10 days from the approval of our dossier to a month later. Although we are requesting an expedited travel date, that doesn't mean the SDA will comply.
**Please pray that the SDA will accept our request for an expedited travel date and join us in praying we will be in Ukraine by November 15th!
