Last full day in Kyiv (?)

Well, at 4:15, we got the visas and completed all of our paperwork. The embassy closes at 4:30, so it was very stressful. It looks like we're on for our 6;30 a.m. flight. We leave for the airport at 4:30 a.m.

Tonight, I'm headed out to meet Vadim's sisters and have him say goodbye. This will be really hard for him.

Thanks for your continuing prayers, and see you very very soon!

YEAH!!! So excited - I was talking to Beth as you were leaving to go to Vadim's sisters. That will mean so much to him that you went with him to say good-bye. Hopefully they have some access to internet - that has allowed us to stay in really close contact with Anastasia's grandma. We can't wait - the whole Botto Crew will be waiting at CVG and praying for smooth and safe travels- this is it girlfriend, you're on your way HOME. (sniff sniff)

I can still see little Vadim's face as we left the orphanage with Anastasia. I've prayed for that preciuos child and asked God to give him a family - God answered our prayers - and I didn't even pray that he'd be a mile from us!! :) God is so good. Anastasia might POP before you get here!

Praise God. You should be on the plane now as I type. Praying for uneventful flights and a blissful reunion with Jake and Todd!
