Quick update for you all. Court went well today – it seemed very long, but the outcome was that we have a new daughter (of course pending the 10-day waiting period).
Welcome to your new family Mary Katerina Quiram! 
We were able to bring Tanya along after court to Chernigov and we all went to the English Club – sponsored by the church we mentioned in the previous entry. Tonight the ladies all have a room together and I (Tim) am rooming with Oles.
In late breaking developments, it looks like tomorrow we will check out from Chernigov, drive to Shorce to meet Katya’s oldest sister Rita, then return Tanya to Gorodnya and head for Kyiv. We have an apartment arranged and will work on getting Katya’s medical checkup done and a power of attorney for Charlene so she can take care of business when I have to head home. We are relieved and overjoyed, but feel a little pang of sadness knowing that we may not be back to see the children at the Orphanage for some time.
Please pray that we will be able to work out the logistics to help support Tanya getting English lessons and connecting with the people in the church in Chernigov. Also, we would really like to get our clothes back – one of the ladies here at the hotel took them home to wash on Saturday and we haven’t seen her or them since. Rumor has it she works tomorrow.

Congratulations! I can't remember if I've commented before or not, but I have been checking on your blog off and on.
We have an almost 13yo girl (Thursday) that will be home a year in April.
Best wishes,

Hello Quirim family and fearless facilitater Oles! Congrats from the Schweickerts! Can't wait to meet Katya. Take it from a "Mary Katherine"...her name is the best!
Congratulations. We are in Kyiv right now and had our appt with the SDA this morning. We leave for Odessa tomorrow night and hope to see our Dasha on Friday.
Eta atleechna novi! (OK, not too good at the Russian...but that's great news!!!!) Blessings on Mary Katerina (one of our favorite names!) and the whole Q family. Sounds like you will be moving around and doing a lot now, and we pray the visit with Rita is a good one. Safe travels! God bless you all!

Congratulations! We're so happy for you and hope the 10 day waiting period goes fast and smooth. Katya's beautiful smile says it all! Can't wait to welcome her to the "Ukrainian Wmsburg clan" as an official Quirim. Hope all goes well meeting Katya’s sister Rita and hope you have your clothes returned. Guess you could always go swimming :-)
God bless and God speed,
Debbie, Dale & girls
