The Dickinsons are in Odessa

Internet problems abound here, so I am posting for Meghan and Wayne. This is Todd Hollis, who adopted Alina from the same orphange.

Meghan and Wayne brought Natalia and Timur out of the orphanage last night (Thursday). The got to have dinner at a restaurant for the first time as A FAMILY OF SIX!

Today was filled with travel to Timur's hometown for a new birth certificate and then to Odessa for a new birth certificate for Natalia. Lots of hours in the car. Lots of waiting in (or outside) of offices. And now, lots of waiting in Odessa.

Meghan and Wayne should be back online tomorrow. Please know that they are a complete family as of last night.

Keep thoughts and prayers coming.
