Today at 7:30pm Ukraine time, Matthew and Michael left the orphanage for the very LAST TIME!
Orphans no more!
Michael Scott Hannon and Matthew Scott Hannon are FREE!
Jeff, Holly and Jason spent the entire day running around with our facilitator, Luda, doing paperwork, filling out documents, gathering official papers and driving through fog so thick it was blinding. In the end, they went to the orphanage to pick up the boys at 7:00pm where the nanny's lovingly dressed our boys for the last time and then they were out the door in less than 30 minutes. No time for pictures. No time for anything. It was a scoop and run Gotcha Day!
They had tickets for the 8:00pm train and the driver got them to the train station in the nick of time! The boys were already tired, rubbing their little eyes and ready for a good nights sleep. Jeff said they both have colds with a cough. Thank goodness Jeff is the king of medicine. He literally took medicine for just about any symptom...they are in good hands! I can't wait to hear more about their Gotcha Day adventure!
Once they arrive in Kiev tomorrow morning, the whole crew will go directly to the US Embassy to start the Visa appointments to come home. Jeff will call me as soon as they get settled into their apartment after the Visa appointment.
Prayer requests:
1. That all can rest on the train
2. That the Visa Appt. goes smoothly, without hitch
3. That Matthew and Michael will accept food from Jeff, Holly and Jason to stay fed and hydrated
4. That Michael and Matthew's illnesses go away quickly
5. That Matthew and Michael are not scared and feel the love of their daddy and are comforted
6. That the weather on all legs of the return trip home clears and they get home safely
