Meeting was confusing... And pizza

We went to meet with the inspector who told us that AS's biological mother came last week and found out there was a family who wanted to adopt him. For the past year she has not filed an appeal to get her son back, but now she's suddenly saying she wants to. At this time there is no document on file that she is actually appealing, so we will proceed as if this did not happen. We don't know what else to do. If she does file an appeal on paper, then it will be a month or more before we would be allowed to proceed. During that time we would have to remain in Ukraine... which is not possible for us. So right now we are praying that we can just continue as we were before this, and nothing else comes of it. S thinks the facilitator for the other family in the U.S. was potentially behind it. Anyway, we will continue to fight for our little guy.

After meeting with the inspector we went to the market to eat lunch. I ordered a pizza with cheese and pepperoni, but in the translation we got green peppers. Dave wasn't excited, but I sure was! It was a nice change of pace from peanut butter sandwiches and Ukrainian food, which let's face it, is very different from American food.
