Hi everyone. I thought it would be good if we also posted an entry about how things are going with all the paperwork.

Vica just took a trip to the children's birthplace, in a VERY fast taxi. We expected her back somewhere in the range of 11:00, but it's only 9:00! She's going to make sure she uses that driver for her other long trips. :O)

Anyway, it looks like we will know the court date within a few days. After that, it sounds like things move pretty quickly, with a trip to the birthplace to pick up their new birth certificates. Then back to Kiev for an embassy interview, WITH the kids. People could leave for the U.S. the same day that they pull the kids out of the orphanage, but we are several hours from Kiev, and need an embassy interview before we can leave. Also, flights home are not available every day of the week.

That's about all that we can really say right now, since we don't know when things will all fall together.

Thank you very much for all the supporting comments, prayers, and calls. It makes all of you even more dear to us.
