Today we checked out of our apartment and went to get the passports for Vlad and Dima. Fortunately they had them waiting for us. We were not sure if they would be ready. Vlad and Dima are so happy that last night was their last night at the orphanage and they are so glad to finally be out of there. Oleg worked so hard to help us get done so quickly. He was amazing! We went to pick up the painted eggs from the egg lady and they are so gorgeous. Tonight we drive to Kyiv. Now the last thing we need to do is the stuff at the US Embassy and the medicals. We have our appointment with the embassy at 10:00 am on Thursday and if all goes well we should be done on Friday. Unfortunately there are not enough seats on the airplane to return on Saturday so it looks like we will be returning on Sunday. The plane is scheduled to arrive at 7:52 pm for those who would like to be there as many of you have expressed an interest to be there to welcome Vlad and Dima.

You are finally done? That is great news! We will try to be there at the airport to meet your new kids. If you get a chance, please post the flight information.
We are so thrilled for you. We think you got two good kids. We spent time with Vlad when we were there in Sumy, and he is a good kid and amazingly smart.
Let me tell you, walking into the US Embassy is almost like coming home. I was never so grateful to have an American passport.
Hang in there. You are almost home!
Congratulations on being almost home We can't wait to see you again. Best wishes with the rest of the journey. This will be the fun part :)
Love
The Hinksons
