On Saturday, Sept. 24, 2011, we began our adoption journey. It has been a really long day. We departed Indianapolis at 2:30 pm on Saturday and we arrived in Ukraine on Sunday at 1:30 pm. This picture is the plane we flew on from Washington DC to Frankfurt, Germany. Flying with Lufthansa was a very satisfying experience. On the flight from Washington to Frankfurt, they provided two meals. On the flight from Frankfurt to Kiev, they provided another mea. We met our adoption facilitator, Victor. He is great. He had everything ready for us to arrive. Words can't describe how important this was for us. Laura and I were nervous about traveling so far from the United States. This is our first trip outside the United States, not counting Canada and the Bahamas. Meeting with Victor has made us feel much more comfortable here. He took us out to eat authentic Ukrainian food for dinner. This meal was very good. We also spent a few hours walking around Kiev. Kiev is a beautiful city. Tomorrow is our appointment with the State Department for Adoptions. Lets hope everything goes well and we can get our referral on Tuesday.
