We are Here!

We are here at ROJ! David the founder, is neater in real life than just Skyping. It is more beautiful here than we imagined. The ice-cream is just as good, and Sasha looks great! Other than payin an extra baggage fee for our 3rd bag, the trip was uneventful. All donations got here, and customs in Kiev couldn't have gone smoother. I didn't have to say one word and Ukraine doesn't require a registration card to be filled out on the plane anymore. Lots to blog about... I'll try to find time. :)

Thanks for your prayers. Already we are meeting amazing people and making new connections.

P.S. Debbie... Bogdan was a godsend. So is Alosha. Who knew delivering a phone would be such a blessing!

I'm so glad you arrived safely and are having a good time so far. And I'm THRILLED you got to meet Bogdan. He is the guy that ran the orphanage we stayed at in Kiev during our our three week wait to meet Maddie. You are right...he is an absolutely God-send. Please, please, please tell him hello for us. ;)
