Passports and Surprises Wednesday - Day 32

Sorry its been so long since I have posted, we have been very busy getting stuff done, Wednesday we had to take Kristina to get some paperwork done because she is over 14.  Also, I will make shorter posts than my longer posts about adoption news.  So back to Wed., once we were done with that we headed to the orphanage to drop her off and then to drop me off at the hotel.  Then Dad and Sergey left for Lugans'k along with a few ladies that came along as a show of force, so to speak (For the passport office.) Yes, today we see if we can get 4 passports.  We are unsure about Lera's because one of her documents that is required for her passport hasn't arrived from Kiev.

Later in the day Mom and I get a call from Dad asking if we were sitting down or not, well apparently Nastya (Our Kiev facilitator) asks us when we are leaving to go to Kiev (which is Saturday) then she says that is bad, because Monday when we were planning on having our first US Embassy appointment, will not work.  The office will be closed due to it being a federal holiday.  We will need to leave tomorrow (Thursday) to go to Kiev.  The effect of this is mostly on the kids since we already told them we would pick them up Friday and take the train the next day.  When we told the kids we told Kristina first, she was very sad at the news but was okayish.  All the others were completely fine with it though. So we left the orphanage and went back to the hotel to wait for Dad and Sergey to come back, but all of what I said was bad news, the good news we have for today is that we were able to get Lera's passport!  Yes, we have all four!  Once Sergey and Dad got back we ate and got ready for the BIG day ahead of us.
