Sept.4th






All is going really well. We got to see the boys yesterday and they all look great. Austin Ruslan looks the same to me. We have had alot of fun with all the boys and with all the kids. Today we passed out letters and treats to the kids and it was fun to see their reactions. We are amazed at the beautiful surroundings. The buildings are ugly but there is alot of trees and rivers. Some of the houses by the orphange are big and nice and that supprised us because we didn't even picture houses there. The dads and boys have played a couple of games of soccer. That was fun to watch. We are waiting for our court date. With so many families here at the same time we are alittle worried that it will take longer. Valeria did stay up almost all last night to do the paper work. We all met together with the director as she asked us questions about why we want to adopt and told us the medical issues of each of our kids. Ruslan needs glasses now I know why he squints alot. So far so good we are having fun staying with the Rogers and it is saving us alittle money. We are paying $45 a night each here and we like our appartment.
