Hello from afar
Natasha visited Tara Vika today at the orphanage and told her we would be there to take her home soon. She remembered Natasha right away. Here they are, in a picture taken today.

Makes me sad to think of her being alone, wihout family.
I have lots of toys she may like.
Tara seems so far away. I bet she will like her new butterfly motif bedroom. Gosh it must be agony to wait to pick her up, is Sal going to go for sure? Hey, btw, thanks for the SOUVENIRS!

Yes Karen, I'm going out there with Laura!
I got my ticket & I'm waiting for my Ukraine visa. Should get it in a day or two.
I'm so excited!!! I can't wait to see Tara Vika! This is the trip of a lifetime. I'm also going to go look at those old catacombs and see where the monks were walled up. Can't wait!sal
Laura, wonderful idea to have Natasha visit and remind Tara about her wonderful new parents. So heartening that she remembered Natasha right away. Sally and I are thrilled that she will be going with you to bring her home.
Karen, so glad you (finally) got your SOUVINERS! (O;

Laura & family: I've been reading your blog from way afar (South Africa), and enjoying your tale! What a great thing, and a terrific family adventure it has been & will be. It will be fun to read on in the next few days, weeks and even months, so keep writing! Cheers, Tina (in Cape Town)
