We have packed up our stuff and are waiting for Victor to take us back to the SDA so we can pick up our referral, then head out to Donetsk on the overnight train. Here we go. We have loved our time in Kiev but its time to get down to business! We are eager to see the boys tomorrow.
We met up with the Warners again today. They are flying to the States tomorrow. It's been very helpful to hear about their experiences and ask John questions. It's also been fun to hang out with Vladik and Dima. I'm going to miss those guys! Oh how fun and challenging and exhausting it will be when we have our own two new sons with us! We hope to cherish every minute.
I'm surprised at how loose and comfortable Curt and I have been since we got here. I thought I'd be a nervous wreck! Thank you for all of your prayers--we are feeling God's peace, for sure. I think it also helps that we have been to Ukraine before; we sort of know what we're in for and we have a good relationship with Victor already. We are joyous and optimistic as we head towards the orphanage, Illya and Svyatik, and mountains of paperwork.
I'm not sure when I'll be able to log on again. We should have Internet while in Enakievo and Donetsk, but Victor assures us we will be VERY busy for the next several days.
Prayers for safe travels and good health. Oh, and the "new" train. I hear it is WAY better than the old ones. I will be anxious to hear all about it. I'm sure the boys will be thrilled that you are back and ready to take them home forever. Looking forward to seeing their cute faces as soon as you get a chance to post them.
