Today is Ukraine’s Independence Day.16 years ago today they officially became an independent nation. So today they celebrate. That means no school. No work. No progress on the adoption.
But we can wait on our progress one more day, while they celebrate their progress! In just a few hours, fireworks will light up the sky. Old and young alike will attend parties, and the population will celebrate a wonderful gift: freedom. I’m thankful that these people are able to celebrate their freedom today.
"Ukraine declared independence from the U.S.S.R. on August 24, 1991, just days after the failure of a hard-line coup against Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. In December of that year, more than 90 percent of Ukrainian voters endorsed the decision in a referendum. "
