The day has arrived...

This morning we said good-bye to our two girls before they went to school. It was very hard, but we are uplifted by their excitement about our trip to bring their little brothers and by how mature they have been about it. While we miss our girls' hugs and kisses, we now start to dream about those of our little boys...

We are at the Guatemalan Airport waiting for the time to board the plane which will take us to Mexico where we will take the Air France flight direct to Paris. (It is hard to find direct flights from Guatemala to Europe). We will stay a couple of nights in Paris and fly directly to Kiev on Saturday morning. We will have a little rest there and meet our facilitator on Sunday to get ready for our SDA meeting on Monday at 3:00 p.m. Kiev time. Please join us and our families and friends in praying for a smooth meeting and prompt authorizations to visit the orphanages so that we are able to meet our children asap!
