Yesterday afternoon, I prepared the kids to go back to the orphanage. Maria started crying. She did not want to go. Matt slowly put on his clothes to return. I just told them 4 more days then we go to Kiyv. We took a crowded bus to the orphanage. Alyona, Julie's daughter, was the only one who could see out a window and instructed the driver when to stop.
Matt and Maria did not want to go inside, so we went to the playground for a few minutes to play soccer. I am playing soccer for hours every day. Florian be ready for my return home! After 15 minutes of soccer, I decided it was time to rejoin the others in case they decided to leave. Alyona, Molly and Sasha were in front of the orphanage jumping around and were all smiles. Alyona was acting as our translator, and told Molly that Larissa would let Molly and Jim keep Sasha in the hotel room for the night. See, Molly and Jim were going to adopt Sasha, but she was taken off the register and is not available for international adoption at this time. Since Sasha was spending the night in the hotel, so was everyone else. Even Matt and Maria Oksana. This did cause a concern for me. I moved into a single room yesterday. Now, I only had one bed. Cozy, huh?
We headed back to Zap for dinner. We then played Volleyball in the park for over an hour. A little boy joined us. He told us that he was in 9th grade, but he was small for his age. Just before dark, he started his departure home. His father passed away a while ago, and he lives with his mother. He thanked us for letting him play then took off just before the last ray of sunlight was gone.
We have to have the kids back at 1pm today. So we will feed them lunch the take the bus back to the orphanage.
