8/30 Update :

Yesterday we came to the orphanage to meet the boys. Once we arrived we were told the boys are gone camping and will be returning tomorrow (today). The director told us to call her at 11 just to confirm that the boys have arrived. We called at 11, 12, 12:30, 12:50 and finally and 1 we were told that the boys have arrived. Just as soon as we left our hotel it started raining really hard! We stood outside for 45min waiting to the bus, it never came…We came home to change out of our wet clothe and call the taxi. While waiting for the taxi we called to director to tell her we are running late… when we called the first time she h ung up the phone on us . So we called back again and she said that she very upset with us because we reschedule so many times… ??? W hatever that meant, we reminded her the we called several time and the boys came late, she didn’t want to listen, all she said is if we don’t came by 4 we won’t be able to see the kids.
We arrived at the orphanage , we walked into the directors office, she sat us down and called someone to bring the boys. That was the longest minute in my life … I could hear my heart pounding! We soon heard a boys giggling voice. They walked into the office and quieting stood b y each other. The director asked them for the ir names, they asked them if they would want to live in a family, if they would want to have a mom and dad and a little sister. They both smiled and said yes. During the time I was fighting my tears of joy, they were so adorable. I can say we instantly feel in love with them . The director told us we could go in the lobby and get to know each other. We sat there and talked for a while. The boys just sat there and told us everything they knew about the ir family, friends and the orphanage.
. We told them that we are going to come back tomorrow and we wanted them to think about if they wanted us to be there parents. The young one said that didn’t need to think about that he did want to be adopted, the older one agreed. The both had and cutest smile and were very happy and of course so were we !!!!!! It was amazing! I was so surprised we how perfect everything was!!!!
We then went outside…(because Vanessa asked to go) Once we went outside the boys (including Sergei) were racing to see who can run the fastest, jump the the highest etc. The boys took turns running with Vanessa. It was so adorable. Vanessa loved the boys!
Valery the younger one said “ Ruslan is the cap tain on the football team, he run s the fastest in our class”. Another boy standing near by confirmed, he said “I am second fastest, after Rulsan”. Later Sergei asked if they like to draw, Ruslan (older) said” Valery, drew a bird and it looked just like real one.” And just during our visit they would only tell us what the other can do, never about themselves. It was really nice.
The visit was just really amazing. Thank you for everyone who has been praying for us. After meeting the boys today I know there are many people praying for us. We couldn’t be more happy. Please continue to pray for us
