This is where we are...

So, since AS's mother appealed, she will get her time in court to prove she is a fit mother. It seems unlikely since she has no job and no electricity in her home. We will most likely leave Ukraine next week and wait for her court appeal to run its course. If she doesn't get her parental rights back, we will return to Ukraine in 3-4 weeks and continue our adoption process. If she does get her parental rights back, it is over. We will pray that whatever happens is best for AS.

They cut our visit with AS short today since we got a negative conclusion from the adoption inspector. We will find out tomorrow if we can visit with AS any more before we leave. We have hired a lawyer to help us with this.
