Go Where I Send Thee

Monday, April 04, 2005

Today Victor picked us up at 10:30 and we went to buy a cartridge for the Internot's Xerox machine, they need to make many copies of our paperwork and wanted us to bring that and a ream of paper. We did so and then picked up our dossier from Svetlana the regional director who was not happy because some other couple was trying to get out of their adoption that was almost finished, we are always nervous when someone we need to help is not happy. We proceeded to the Internot to deliver supplies but the asst. director who was to make the copies had been called to the prosecutor's because of this called-off adoption. We waited, and waited. She came and we gave her the supplies, we waited and waited. Galina came and said the cartridge didn't work. We drove back to the store, (these places are not close of course) where they tested the cartridge and said yes it did work. We drove back to the Internot and saw Kolya outside rollerblading with his friends. They came to the van right away. This time we went in while the copies were made(some button was not adjusted correctly) and got to visit with the children. they were all very happy to see us. They all tried on Kyle's glasses, he tried to leave them for the kids but they kept returning them to him. We visited with the second graders, Paul, Alosha B. is in the picture, he has a sling on his arm. Kolya wanted us to visit his class as well where we were recited poetry by his classmates who had been memorizing it for class. We gave out letters from Lienna Hanson and took some pictures of her friends. The children are all so sweet. They all want to be adopted. They all try to speak English to us and want hugs and kisses. Tomorrow Kolya has one more medical exam by another expert which will cost us 50 grivna or $10. We hope to have all paperwork complete by Wed and then Galina will go to Kiev with it. Keep praying that all goes well, it has so far. When Kolya was speaking in Russian to our friend Ira he called us mama and papa. Pray that nothing will stop that from happening.

What wonderful pictures! The children are all so sweet. Two of the girls in the middle with Kyle and the kids with his sunglasses look like twins. Who is the little girl in green at the bottom of the picture? It looks like things are running smoothly for you even if the printer isn't! We pray that you will have another productive day.
Give Kolya a hug from all of us.
Love Tedand Amy
