Travel Tonight to Region

We leave the flat at 9pm tonight (1pm CST) to travel by overnight train to Dnipropetrovsk region (arriving 6am). The orphanage is in Kryvyy Rih. Zhenia has done one other adoption from this orphanage, so he may already know the orphanage director, if it is the same person he dealt with before.

On Monday morning we meet first with the Inspector from the regional SDA office. Then we meet with the orphanage director. It is very important that these people like us, as they have input into whether the adoption happens or not and how long it may take. After meeting with the orphanage's doctor, we will meet our girl.

In this region, the people primarily speak Russian.
