A Definite Maybe

We'll know more on Monday, but for now, it looks like adopting Maxim is a definite, well a definite maybe. It's complicated to explain in a few lines, so we'll leave it at that for now. Also, we have to move apartments early tomorrow and won't have internet in that apartment. So other than going to internet cafe to pay to check our e-mail (yes, please still e-mail us), we won't be much online until probably Tuesday when we'll move to a longer stay apartment which will have internet, assuming the adoption is a go. We were given the most stressful interview of our lives today, let me tell you! To be fair to the orphanage director, it was obvious that she cares a lot about the kids there. Maxim is a very sweet boy with an engaging smile, a little behind in some areas, but that is to be expected for the most part. Sorry, we weren't allowed to take pictures yet; it has to be more certain first. Again, we hope to have some by Monday or Tuesday as well. Then the paperwork begins in earnest. It takes weeks in this region (yes, even in Kiev) to get this all accomplished, though our translator says she'll try to "hurry up" anything that is possible for us. Let's hope so--we're both ready to come home!!
