We had our appointment today at 11:00 am. We were asked only a couple questions and they shared some information about the girls. It was over very quickly. Even Dima our facilitator was surprised with how quickly it went. I guess they think we are normal enough. The ladies at the adoption center wished us well with the girls.
We now have official go ahead to adopt Lienna and Tanya. We are not able to go to their region until Thursday as tomorrow is a national holiday and the government offices are closed.
We will spend Wednesday washing some clothes and preparing to travel south to the orphanage. We are looking forward to moving on in this process.
We spent part of the day visiting Independence Square and shopping in an underground mall in that area.
This picture is of Amber and Morgan with a monkey at Independence Square. They had a choice between a few monkeys, an owl and a guy dressed up as Shrek to take a picture with. People are there to make a little money off the tourists. This cost us a 5 grivna (a dollar)
We appreciate your prayers everyday. We can tell that we are not alone on this journey. Please pray for another couple that is here to adopt. Their process has been very difficult and uncertain.

Independence Square: Sight of many public demonstrations including the student hunger strike against against the old Soviet socialists in 1990 and the "Orange" Revolution of 2004-2005. 
A statue of the legendary founders of the city. Brothers Kiy, Schchek, Khoriv, and sister Lybed.
Morgan at a playground in downtown Kiev.
This was a really cool picture of Independence Square that I took off the internet. Unfortunately, I did not take this one. The underground mall is under the two glass domes. It is three levels of stores and food courts.
