Change order at the SDA (State Department of Adoption)

We just returned from our SDA appointment. Natalia was informed she must separate the children by family (only the girls are siblings) which means we must return for another appointment. We expect the referral to come from the SDA for the girls tomorrow thus, starting the process for our court hearing. The separation is expected to lengthen our  journey here in Ukraine. At this point, we think we'll be heading to Zhytomyr tomorrow. Zhytomyr is where the orphange is located and we are told the kids are anxious to see us!  As soon as we know our second SDA appointment date, we will need to come back to Kiev to seek the referral for our third child. So, for now, we wait!
