We have been asked not to come to the orphanage or the hospital on Saturday or Sunday. Essentially we have no rights to see or be with the children until after we have been to court. Right now we are allowed to be with them because we are with either the Director or the Doctor both of whom are not working this weekend.
I’ve been too entertained. Teresa is usually in charge in most situations. When we were at the orphanage we were getting ready to leave and the director asked Teresa where her scarf was. It seems it was too cold to be outside without a scarf and having her coat buttoned all the way up. Teresa said she had left it at the hotel. The director offered to loan Teresa a scarf. We finally managed to convince her that Teresa would survive the walk to and from the Taxi.
For Internet access I go to the lobby of our hotel and have a hard wire connection. Teresa walked out to see what was going on and the lady at the front desk pointed at her feet and walked her back to the room to put her slippers on. Socks are not acceptable for walking down the hall.
We have been disruptive at the orphanage. All the kids want to see what new activity Teresa has brought for the boys to work on. So we have been moved from the game room/gym to the computer lab. In the lab we have been given little pieces of carpet to sit on. Teresa always seems to be off her carpet when the director checks in on us and gets scolded and told to sit here.
The director really is good hearted and cares deeply for the kids. We were entertained by one little thing. It may just be our perception but when we brought Jim King Ministries newsletter that we had printed out it seemed that she did not want to ask if it was for her to keep or if we wanted it back. It was carefully moved and covered in a stack of papers. We had printed it for her and are glad that it was meaningful to her.
We have picked names for the boys and our paperwork was completed and notarized. As soon as we get word back from the State Department for Adoption in Kyiv we should be able to get our court date.

Hey! Glad to hear that things are working out. I just read through your experience and it flashes me back to what Connie and I went through. Good night and you are in my prayers.

I would bundle up and head the shoe warnings, after all it is a sign of being bad parents if you don't ensure you and your children are bundled so much that the sweat pours out releasing all toxins...LOL if it weren't true!
Try to stay out of trouble this week!
Can't wait to hear about your court date!
We are so excited about your boys! We can't wait to meet them! Weston says he will teach the younger two boys English. :-)
We are off to FL tomorrow and will be back Dec. 9. Maybe we'll see you in the airport. Ha!
