Right now, we are driving back to Kyiv to take Ron and Jesse to the airport. Today, Sasha and Nina, along with an attorney, attempted to meet with the judge, but he was not longer in his office. They are working hard to help us. They wanted to try to pursuade him to proceed with a declaration that would remove the mother's rights without her signature. However, they will now have to wait until Monday to try to accomplish this. Nina will also try to call and make some contacts that she has that might help them. Even if they do pursuade the judge to come up with the declaration, there still had to be a 10 day wait. So we are looking at a court date around July 15. Ron and Jesse will arrive in Atlanta on Saturday around 7pm.
Graduation was wonderful on Thursday night at Matveevka orphanage. There were fancy gowns, dancing, dramas and the orphanage even made a video. Larissa gave and speech and Nina did as well. Then "the Americanas" were asked to give a speech...so Ron stepped up and did his best!
Christina is allowed to spend the night at the apartment with Lynn and Anna for tonight...and possibly another night as well. Also there is a chance that the pastor Nicoli and his wife Anya, might can come and pick them all up to go to church. This is a pastor and his wife that the Brennans met when they were here.
We appreciate your prayers. Even though we cannot get your messages right now in a timely manner, it will mean alot for us to read them as soon as we get internet connection.
We will post more as we get more information. Be in prayer for Monday. Love, The Gully Family

Hello to the Gully Family!
Paul, Alyona and I want to let you know that our hearts are with you as you proceed through your adoption journey in Ukraine. Words can hardly tell you how happy we are for Christina. Please give her a big hug from all of us and let her know that there are people in Atlanta who love her and can't wait to see her.
Warmly yours,
Kathy Forbes
