Court and now we wait

We went to court today, and it went well. It really was no big deal but still nerve wrecking. Court was at 10  and we were picked up at 9 and  I had ten min to get ready. we headed to to the orphanage to start with and then to the court house. The best part of the experience except for of course making it all official is trying to figure out the court system it truly looks like a mess! there are no signs and tons of people just walking in and out of rooms, Ryan and I spent a good 30 min trying to find the rhyme and reason but as far as we could see there is non, at least to us foreigners.  Nothing fancy but here is a pic at court.


Ryan and I had a small break down last night we want to be home so I told him we needed to list 5 things that we love about Donets'k first of course being Oleg, that aside our 5 things we love: cheap beer, great milk, awesome juice, organized grocery stores, and cheese!!! That seemed to make us feel better, our journey is coming to an end but not at fast as we wished, it seems as if we will miss our travel date a week so we will be here a total of 6 weeks, we hope no longer. A recent blog we read was talking about the uncertainty we face here in the Ukraine, there is just so much that is out of our control!! if you want a lesson on faith and trusting God alone, do a Ukraine adoption :) but we have no complaints we have learned so much about ourselves, each other, our family, and our faith that we have been blessed to struggle through this!! It is only a small cross to bare. For now we are enjoying the journey, not only our journey but the Dehanns it is like watching a sappy life time movie, just when they seem to give up God intervenes and keeps the ball rolling and though the boy has not said yes they are doing everything!! even the stuff that we could not think of, only God could open those doors, it is so cool to see. Keep praying it is working!! here are some pictures of the market and of course Oleg.



have a blessed day we love you all so very much!

I am glad that court went okay and glad for the new pictures. What happens now?
We are all learning about family and faith. We'll all be stronger.
Love to you, Mom B

I've been following your blog and am excited for your journey home to begin! Enjoy the time you have left in the Ukraine though. The picture of Oleg walking down the hall with that toy in tow is adorable!
