I did not get the multiple referrals that others have gotten but it did not stop me from finding our gorgeous 17 month old son. I had to go to 3 regions to find him but that may have also happened if I had travelled in the Winter as well. I honestly feel it is important to have a good facilitator but what is most important is to have a good attitude and sense of humour. One needs to remember how overworked they are at the AC and be appreciative and respectful of those that you meet. We had to go back 3 times before we got the referral for Sasha (yes, I was biting my nails big time!) but we did get him.
Today, that is all that is important.

Melissa,
If you read this, could you share the contact info for your facilitator in Ukraine?

Lana,
Based on the post dates above, Melissa adopted in Aug 2000, so may not be on these boards any longer.
