Hi everyone,
We stumbled onto an internet cafe on our walk today so I thought I'd give an update. Thanks Ang for posting yesterday...sorry we got cut off. Anyway, we spent 4 days in Dnipropetrovsk in a nice apartment with nothing much to do in the area. It was actually 30 min outside of the city so it was quite boring. We were hoping to have the passport on Monday but it was not ready so Chris, Lucas, Emma and I headed back to Kyiv by train and Luba stayed in Dnip. We had to return to Kyiv by Tuesday to change our plane tickets...otherwise we'd have to pay for new ones and I don't even want to think about how much that would cost! So, we expected the passport to be ready yesterday (Tues) but it wasn't, so we are praying it is ready today. We have an appointment at the US Embassy tomorrow and we need the passport to get the visa. If it is not ready today, we will be stuck here until next week. I've cried many tears at that thought...as we are so ready to come home. If we make the appointment at the embassy, we will hope that the visa will be ready the same day. If not we will have to stay until next week...again...more tears at the thought. There are no flights out until next week and we have tentatively booked our flights for Friday. We want so much to be on that plane!!!!! Please, pray, pray, pray. We are holding up ok but the kids are getting restless and Lucas is very homesick. He misses his friends. I will let you all know if we can fly out on Friday. We won't know until Thursday night so it will be a little short notice. Hopefully many of you can come to the airport to welcome our Emma home. I've been at the airport to welcome home 3 adopted children of friends of mine and it is a truly wonderful experience.
Well, I'd better post this and get these kids fed. They are hungry...AGAIN. We're going broke just feeding them both! haha.
Love to you all,
Hopefully we see you soon.

Lisa, you will all certainly be in our prayers as you get closer to the end of this long process. Just remember that Emma is SO worth the wait and the effort, and at least you are all together. We are so, so happy for all of you!!!

Head to McDonald's for a taste of home!
You'll be home before you know it!
Praying some more right now!

Hi Lisa and Chris,
I can tell the stress is getting to you. Try to hang in there and keep your chins up. I know you just want to be home. It will feel so good to sleep in your own beds, won't it? Many prayers coming your way for a speedy trip home.
Just think you're almost there! Really it's so close.... Just a quick 59 hour plane ride to Houston!!! (At least that's what it feels like, eh?) When I finally let go and had a good cry was when our plane left the ground in Moscow and I knew we were going home to TEXAS. Yee Ha!!!!
You're almost home!
Love ya,
Sue Balch
