Angelina came with a driver the next day to pick us up and go see Sasha after school. As we arrived many of the kids were playing outside and they all stopped to come and see who it was. We got out and didn't see Sasha, but by the time we made it to the front steps he came running out the door to greet us. We hugged and hugged and hugged some more. Then went in to meet with Nina to discuss the situation, needs she has for the facility and the process of adopting Sasha. He then took us for the tour and showed us everything!
We loaded up and went to the market to buy supplies and food for the week. Sasha had no problem taking charge and picking out things he wanted, things like a chocolate bar, honey, fruit, milk ect. Sasha also had to help me understand the total of 'Greevnas' (money) the cashier was saying, the lady spoke very quiet and fast and I noticed no one smiles. Then off we went back to the apartment.
(Stay tuned for more)

Dear Regina and family - the photos took me back. I've realized that I actually have a strong desire to go back to Ukraine - to take Maxim with me and visit the children's home.
ReplyDeleteHow great to see Sasha's smiling face - your family - the boys together. My eyes filled with tears of joy.
I look forward to hearing more about your trip. (and how wonderful to finally 'meet' Jim)!
