Nov. 9, Miss Autumn Contest


Today was a fun day at the orphanage. We went to the auditorium to watch the crowning of “Miss Autumn”. There were many performances and forms of entertainment. The ballet performed (Olga was beautiful), a solo from their beloved “Tolek” (Elliott), volunteers from the audience who came up and spoke, not sure what they said. It was a lot of fun to watch but Olas wasn’t there so I’m not sure I have the big picture! The boys also got their passport pictures taken today and were excited. Nicky has been asking when we are we going to America all the time now and Elliott ask today for the first time. I shrugged my shoulders and he shook his head to say he understood. It is heartbreaking. The passport issued was resolved FINALLY after Olas spent 3 hours with the notary. He is working hard all of our behalf. Tomorrow, we try to finalize paperwork in Zaporoshe and get Nicky out of the orphanage. It doesn’t look like Elliott will be leaving with us.
