First off.... Natasha (of the Natasha and Vanya sibling group) has graduated. She was one of the recipients of the Cinderella Dresses project I started last year. She graduated in style, along with one of her friends from the orphanage, Vika. Vika and Natasha are now studying in a Medical Institute about 1.5 to 2 hours from Kyiv. I have called to check on them several times. They seem to be doing well...although are very tired. Continue to pray for their protection as they are on their own for the first time in their lives!!!
Secondly, Valya and Katya have been adopted!!!!!! Today was their court session, and barring any problems in the next 10 days, it will be official on October 1. They can be sprung from the orphanage on October 2, and begin to adjust to their new lives with a forever family. After the new parents make it public, I will post more about the family!!! Praise God after SOOOO many years of waiting, these girls finally have a family.
And Lastly! Three more of "my babies" from the orphanage are on their way to America in the next week or so. Almost 10 days ago, siblings Vera and Dima were adopted by a family in North Carolina. They hosted them several times, and then came to get them forever. Also, Zhenya has been adopted by a family in South Carolina. He was hosted by the family this past summer and about a week after he got back to Ukraine, they came for him.(By the way, earlier in the summer, another Dima was adopted by a family in South Carolina and he is already "home" with his forever family and doing well!!!
