Day 26

We have passports.  Praise God!  We will have the kids medical appointments tomorrow morning and meet with the US Embassy in the afternoon.  So glad to be finishing up and heading home to our other children and everything that feels comfortable.

As we were talking with our facilitator last night I asked him if anyone had ever said what the results were of Peyton's stay in the hospital.  When we came to Ukraine back in August Peyton had been put in the hospital to have tests run to see if the diagnosis in her file was still accurate.  All orphans are evaluated like this at some point.  The results, she was fine and the diagnosis would change in her file, which is good.  But, had we not come to adopt her,  she would have been moved once again to another orphanage and just like foster children, orphans eventually have a hard time trusting when they keep getting moved.  So glad God brought us here at just the right time so that she can have the permanency she desires.  I know when we get home reality will set in but I really think that we got two of the best kids ever.
