Clarification/update

Hi All,
Just to make sure it is fully clear, Noah (Sasha) is now legally our son! Yippee! God has been very good to us throughout this process. We got Noah's new, legal birth certificate this afternoon. It has his new name and us as his parents. It doesn't get any more official than that!

Thanks for all the nice comments and continued prayers. The three big hurdles that are left before we can come home are: 1) getting Noah a taxpayer's number (can take days but we are hoping it can be started and finished tomorrow), 2) getting Noah's and Zoë's passports (hopefully start tomorrow and then finish mid next week), and 3) getting Noah's and Zoë's visas from the American embassy in Kyiv (late next week after we get their passports if things go very well). If all that falls into place, we can come home in a little over a week. Please pray that God would continue to work these things out for his glory!

Thanks,
Josh
