Good Bye

Popenki Friday

This morning we met with another legal expert. She is knowledgeable and willing to help us with the legal side of Transnistria.

Today was very windy so we decided to fly kites with the children. They had so much fun!



Nastya and Chris



In Transnistria they have a holiday called "Victory Day" -celebrating their independence from Moldova. The children in the orphanage participate in a march where each class competes. Each team/class comes up with their own uniform and they march around the court while they are judged.









Today we had to say goodbye to the children and Nastya. It was very hard to leave. The only way we were able was knowing Mason and Ryder were waiting for us at home -otherwise I think we would have stayed. The director got Nastya from her class and met us outside. We spent a few minutes saying goodbye and told her we loved her so much. We told her to do good in school and to not forget us. We told her she has 2 brothers that cant wait to meet her. We also told her that we would do everything we could to be her parents (since she already knew what was going on). She said that she would not forget us and she would wait.
