Well hello! It's Lori this time--only fair you get to hear from the other half. We just got into Donetsk after a 12 hour overnight train ride. Not a great way to spend a night while we're still trying to get over the time change, since none of us slept except Natalya, our translator, who's really cute and nice. They're all pretty much cute and nice here, though. I've never seen such a good looking bunch of people.

So we're off to do the paperwork part, which should be quite short, according to Natalya, and then we're off to meet Mykola. Emma is sure he's her brother, but we keep reminder her that we need to meet him first. "Picking" a child off a piece of paper is kind of like deciding to go on vacation by grabbing a map, shutting your eyes and just pointing somewhere with your finger. But we certainly do hope he is the one. His picture was really cute. :-)

Miss you all. Libby, Emma says hi right back atcha. More later. We should know in the next 6 hours if he's the one, so we'll write again as soon as we can, but for now, we're off to McDonald's. Some things are very much the same. :-)
