Leave it to Jim to JUST show bathrooms when there are some great sights in Kyiv. That’s males, for you!!! They look at things so differently. I must be nuts because I will soon be out numbered in the house once again. Oh, well at least I have experience with Boys. All I know is they’re all nuts. Just like today Jim decided we should meet some other Adoptive Families in Independence Square and of course, we should take the Ukraine Metro where you go underground and can’t see where you are going and NO ONE speaks English. He is really nuts because the other day when we found the Metro he almost got in trouble with the guards because he was trying to go in the out door. He actually did great. We got tokens and went the correct direction. Not One Mistake. (But don’t tell him that, because it will go to his head.) It was actually great to get out and see others. Oh, by the way this is Teresa, the one who hates to write.
We met with our Facilitator, tonight and he gave us train tickets (Another Great Adventure with more bathroom experiences for Jim to Document) and the packet that allows us to see our kids. Well, we pray that they are ours. I am a bit nervous the oldest can say no, “I don’t like them” and that’s the end of that. When it comes down to it we really want our kids, whoever they are. We just have to trust in God. We leave Kyiv Sunday Night and will arrive in Kherson on Monday morning. Then we have about an hour or two driving to get to Kakhovka. There is a Power Plant in this city.
This whole trip, so far, has been an eye opening experience. So far the people at least most of them have been patient with Americans who don’t speak Ukrainian or Russian. They walk by you as if you are tied to a pole (Everyone seems to be in a hurry to get somewhere). Crossing the street is like taking your life in your hands (some cars stop but not all of them. There is no rhyme or reason, how you cross a street.). We follow behind a Ukrainian crossing the street (and he or she waves their bags just right and the cars stop.
Well, Jim thinks I am writing a book so I guess I better stop for now.

Our daughter is outside of Kherson too! It is a great city as well, hope you get to see a bit of it as you go through. Praying for your meeting of the boys! Enjoy Kyiv this weekend, did you see the Hillsong church is next to the opera house and has services every two hours on Sunday with English translation? We missed it on our last trip, hope to go this time! God Bless!
Teresa, Thank you for a more uplifting picture of Kyiv !
I told mom about your 'on line note book' and she wanted me to tell you and Jim that she is hoping your dream will come true.
Thanks for 'taking us along' with you !
Love... Ed and Carol
