We finally get to see the boys tomorrow and keep them for good. We pick them up from the orphanage in about 10 hours. They'll be wearing nothing but their birthday suits so we have diapers and clothes to bring with us too. Afterwards, it's off to the airport and on to Moscow. We'll be staying in an apartment in Moscow instead of a hotel. The apartments are supposed to be very nice and are outfitted with appliances, dishes along with free long distance telephone and internet access.
After arriving in Moscow, We'll stay busy with medical exams for the boys, the US Visa application process, the US Embassy exit interviews and registering the boys with the Russian Consulate. We're hoping this takes place early through mid-week. Afterwards, we are free to come home! Some think we could be done as early as Wednesday which means we could head home a bit early if things aren't going too well. We'll just have to play it by ear because we would incur a pretty hefty financial penalty by switching return flights.
Otherwise everyone is doing fine and things are going well. Mom and dad have been able to visit the boys on most the same days we have. They also had a chance to take in some tours and sight-seeing. Although it's really been a once in a lifetime experience for us all, it really reinforces that we are lucky to live in one of the greatest countries in the world.
Until Moscow....
