SUSPENSE...

Don't mean to leave you all in suspense like this. Since coming to Mikolav the internet has been challenging, as have other things we now know are easier in Kyiv. But we have found a hotel a block away with wifi connection, accesible after buying a four dollar card downtown. We are heading to the orphanage in a short while to play with the boys, and feed them some fruit. We are allowed two hours in the morning and two in the afternoon when paperwork does not get in the way.

We are still waiting on some blood test results before we make our final decision. The boys are younger than the age typically adopted, so their next set of blood tests wasn't scheduled until some time next month. But blood was drawn two days ago and is in Odessa now. We should have the results by tomorrow. Then we will be able to move forward and show you the photos and video that are piling up on our camera.

Olga has left for Kyiv, to help a family adopt a child with Downs Syndrome. We have a new translator here, Sasha, and her husband Victor drives us around town. The apartment we are staying in is Victor's mother's. She has emigrated to Italy and they now rent the place to visiting foreigners. Time to run...we will try to write more soon.
