Thanks everyone for your comments and support. Glad to hear you are as excited as we are. We still have a long way to go, but feel that we are headed in the right direction. We hope to be able to meet Yan by tomorrow (Thursday).
On Tuesday night, Karen and I ran into another couple from the US (Dan and Margaret). Actually, it was their son who "spotted" us. As it turns out, Dan and Margaret were in the final stretch of adopting their son. I believe they leave for home tomorrow. Karen and I met them for dinner last night and had a great time and were given a wonderful opportunity to talk to another couple with so much information and insight. Another one of those things that you believe was not an accident. Thanks Dan and Margaret. We will stay in touch.
I posted one other picture (below) that really has nothing to do with our adoption process. I just thought that those who know Karen well would get a kick out of it. Enjoy!
We leave at 1:00 pm. Not exactly sure how we are getting to the new region or when - yet. Just going with the flow. We will try to post again when we get to our next stop.

Hi Karen,
Love the picture! You look like a kid that found a candy store. Looks like you both are enjoying the sightseeing. Have a safe trip to meet Yan.
In our prayers,

Sean and Kelly think it would be great to add another 6 year old to the family. They are going to start a list of all the cool toys that you will need to buy right away.

The pictures are great! Can't wait to see pictures of Yan. Keep safe and look forward to the next email.
This is so exciting! You are going to meet with a little boy! Do people call him Yaneck (usually it’s a nick name for Yan). How are you doing in Luhansk? It’s not a big city. Hope you’ll be able to find good restaurant and staff to do there. There are 2 big cities near Luhansk – Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk. Hope all goes well and you’ll be able to spend a lot of time with your boy.
Looking forward to meet our new neighbor and friend. Whatever sport he is into, we have, it is only a few steps across the street. We just returned from Disney, I am sure Yan will love to experience the Disney magic.
Congrats!!! Great news - A Boy!!! We love reading about your adventure. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. We wish you safe travel and lots of Love!!
Karen - Maureen said the picture is like you hit the "Mother Ship" - No need for the Walmart shoes for Louis Vuitton!
Love and prayers

Oh my - we are SOOOO excited for you both! (And love the pic of Karen in front of LV...perfect!) We will be eagerly anticipating the next entry as you get closer to meeting your new little guy.
FYI - I was in Baltimore this week on biz and had dinner with Katelyn and you'll be happy to know that she is a rabid blog-checker : ) She checks multiple times a day for the news. So we are ALL with you guys in spirit and our love and prayers are with you constantly.
Lots of love,
Lori and David
Congratulations to all three of you! Your mom shared the news with us here today. I'm so happy for you and also that you may be approaching the "home stretch" in this complex process.
Can't wait to hear more and see pictures of Yan (those are, of course, the first three letters of a certain team I follow -- must be a good omen!)
A Louis Vuitton store, and Aunt Karen? How surprising! LOL! Good Luck and I love you. I can't wait to meet my new cousin!
Love,
Monica
