Today the kids officially became part of the Uhrig family! Luba is back in town and we are back on the paper chase.
Here is Tom's update from the calls to Cindy:
It is finally time to prepare to leave Zaporozhye. Cindy is packing her bags. She created a package of clothes for each of the children. They will leave all their current clothes at the internat. This is the last night our kids will spend at the orphanage. We praise God that He has brought us all this far on the journey.
Luba has been working to make things smooth tomorrow. Cindy will get up early go to Meritopol to get Matt's new birth certificate. This city is a two hour drive each way from Zaporozhye. Then she will go to Vonyets to get the same for Maria. With new birth certificates in hand, they can go to Zaporozhye to get the new passports.
Cindy was at Matveevka today and basically said good-bye. There was some function inside, so she stayed outside with all the children there. I am glad that we stayed in the area and were able to be with more of the children. We know that we are not taking any more home, but we also know that we can make at least one day brighter for them as well as provide a connection with the parents that want to adopt more of these children. We hope that we have done that.
