Berdyansk


This morning we went to the Inspector's office with the Bruces. The inspector took the Bruces to the orphanage and said we had to wait till they get back - about 11 AM. Our facilitator went to the orphanage to get some paperwork that needs to be notorized and will meet ua back at the hotel around 10. We should be able to see the boys today!! They still don't know we are here!

Here are a few pictures. The view of Berdyansk is taken from our room on the 11th floor and the Restaurant is in Kiev were we ate supper all three nights (they had an english menu and lots of vegetarian selections!).

Please pray that we find a notory this morning and that we get to see the boys today! God is great!!

This is the best "birth" story. What a gift to all of us and to the boys. I've just discovered this. My Oct thus far has been a whirlwind and I'm so glad to be able to pray up to date for all of you and to join in this great adventure. Many blessings and prayers. Lynn Quirin

Good morning Kathie and Dave. Glad to have you on my continent! We are thinking of you and praying for you. Thanks for this blog. It is great to be able to follow along with you. As an adoptee myself, this is very special to me. I know with all my heart that your boys will be as blessed as I was/am with the gift of family that comes from the Lord. God bless you all at each step of the way. Deborah

K & D, Thanks for posting pix! Of course, we need to see you and those boys next! We are praying that this morning went well for you. (Is that DaMario resurant?? It was our favorite.)
Blessings for a great week, Jean & Jim

Hey Kath and Dave! By now I'm sure you've seen the boys. I'll bet you couldn't stand being right there in Berdyansk and yet you couldn't go see them. Glad you followed Tobi's advice and didn't go - Hate to go bail you out of a Ukrainian jail! HA! You know, we've stayed at that hotel a few times and I never knew you could see the water! Guess we were always on the other side. Either that or the bad weather gave us limited visibility. It looks like you're having some pretty weather. Kiss the boys for us. Can't wait to see you all home. ~Nancy

Hi Kathie and Dave,
I love your blog... and love being able to know just where you are in the process. I think of you all the time and am praying that you all will be able to come home together.
Please tell your boys that "Aunt
Beth" sends her love.
Love
Beth
