Brian flew out yesterday morning around 10:30 AM to complete the final week of our adoption process. He called me from Miami and he was appreciating the beach scene for a few hours until his next flight. This morning he called and he was sitting at the train station in Kiev. Valentin had already picked up tickets for tonight, and also for Monday night's return to Kiev. He was exhausted and couldn't wait to get on the train and sleep for the night, but he had arrived safely without any problems!!
It is really hard to be here and not sitting at the train station with him. He said the same thing, it feels strange to be there alone. However, the kids would not have stood for us both to be gone again. I really wish I could clone myself and be at both places at once!! Nadya already has Nastiya's birth certificate, so tomorrow should go well and they will back in Kiev on Tuesday to complete the medical exam and the Embassy. Brian will not get to shower until they arrive at their flat on Tuesday, so he should be feeling like a Ukranian by then.
I'll let everyone know when I have anything new from Brian. Thank you so much again for all of the prayers and good wishes. We can't wait until Saturday morning when they will be home for good!

Wow! So your daughter will be picked up, have the bc, passport, visa and home in a week? That's really great! I am so glad they have sped up this process. We spent nine weeks total in Ukraine during December/January and March/April of this past year. (long story about the gap in trips)
Hope everything goes as planned!:)
