Well today it became official. Our family has grown from 4 to 6. We are all excited. They were able to get the new birth certificates and passports today. When David went to pick up the kids there were a few tears shed. Luckily lots of the kids have left the orphanage for the holidays. I think that made it a little easier on the kids. David thought it was a good thing I was not there. He thought I would have shed a few tears myself. I think he is probably correct. It was hard enough to leave when I did.

The clan has arrived in Kiev. David called me at 4:00 this afternoon to say that they had arrived. I would imagine they are all very tired.
