Not a lot to report this week but we continue to move forward. It looks like Ana will get to start English lessons very soon. We are excited about this since we were told by our former facilitator that this was not even an option for us in Ana's orphanage. According to our friends who have visited with Ana, she seems to understand English more than their daughter. So, we are hoping that the lessons will be a huge benefit for her. Of course, when she gets home and has a very talkative sister - English should come quickly!
Our agency seems to think that things will go super fast as soon as we are ready to submit. She asked Jim today how much notice we would need to be ready to leave the country. We are currently working on the Petition to Adopt to be sent to Ukraine.
On top of all of the adoption work we have been doing, we are into Spring sports season full force. Kyle is playing Tennis and Spring Soccer, Mary Beth is playing soccer and, of course, has dance, Keegan and Kelton are playing baseball. Kyle and MB are also in the school's show choirs. Add all of the end of the year activities: field trips, award assemblies, science fair, etc and we might as well rent our house out until June! It makes me wonder what Ana is going to want to do. She loves to sing and dance but also liked playing basketball with the boys when she was here last summer. I can't wait to see what things she chooses to do when she is finally a Raabe!
