Visas Ordered, Flights Almost Booked

Yesterday afternoon was a mad panic as Kip, in Chicago, and I at home filled out the required forms for our visas, got new passport photos and Fed-exed our most precious documents to our travel agent in New York. Today, we braced ourselves as the flights were put together.....and yes, it is as bad as I thought it would be.....the good news is we found a way to avoid the smaller airport in Moscow altogether....after hearing of the hardships our fellow adopting parents shared (ie 11 hour layovers in a non-airconditioned airport without toilet seats!)
If anyone knows anyone in need of a kidney, mine is going up on E-bay soon! Will use one of Kip's kidneys to pay for the next trip.

  1. Glad my kidney is 63 years old and no one will want it. On a serious note....we are praying here in Wainfleet that all things come together for our new family member.

  3. We have been praying for you ever since Sydney told me about the Russian adoption. Look at us, we would never have been a family without Max. We are so happy for you. God bless Chris Mike and Max
