We will be home on the 31st

The necessities - Hot water and McDonalds

We just recently heard back from Janette, Jeff, Davey and Meagan. They are now in Keiv and are staying in a nicer apartment with running HOT water. Janette said that it is nice and you don't feel like you are camping out like in Kotosvk. They have even found a McDonald's... the children are thrilled!

Their interperter had to leave them for 2 or 3 days so they are alone as a family and having a good time. They have been sightseeing and taking a lot of pictures.

The twins are now Perry's and they are just trying to obtain their passports for the return to the United States. Katia and Maya only know a few words but are able to understand easier than they can speak the language. They seem very happy.

Janette says hi to all those who are following the blog and she will get information to you soon.

Katia and Maya

I talked to J'net today and she said Jeff tried to enter a blog but unfortunately it wouldn't go through.
They are doing good and have the girls with them at their small apartment everyday. There are a couple of parks there with swings but other than that there is not much to do. The twins are very active little girls. They are all anxious to come the their new home now. They won't be able to fly out until July 31st because of seating availability etc. The girls names will be Katia Ola Perry and Maya Yana Perry. The middle names were their first names over there and the first names now are the ones they have chosen to be called over here. Their birthdays are Jan, 30, 2000.

They will most likely be returning to the U.S. on the 31st of July.

Good News!

We talked to Janette today and she told us to add an update because they are still not able to find a place to enter the blog entry (a book in the making) that she has been typing up. They are still in a remote area and will probably be there until the 20th and then will travel to Odessa (a larger town) where they will be able to access a computer.

They have gone through the court system now and have been approved for the adoption of the twins. In court, the twins were asked if they would like to be adopted by the Perry's and of course agreed and they are excited. The Perry's will remain in that area to spend time with them up until the 20th.

When they get to Odessa they will get all the paper work ready etc. They are all well and happy and glad that the court process is over and all went well. They send everyone their love and appreciation.

Please keep them in your prayers and thanks for reading!

The Twins

Hi to all checking the Perry blog!
They have not been able to get to an internet cafe to enter an update so I wanted to let you know how they are doing.
They are in an area that is very isolated, they have rented an apartment there and are just 30 minutes away from where the girls are in a summer camp for the orphans. They go and spend time with the girls almost everyday and when they are not there they are always busy with the red tape end of it. They feel that they now have a chance to adopt the girls and bring them back with them. When they are finally ok'd by the director etc. they will still need to stay for 10 days after.
They said they are healthy and are doing well. They are not as discouraged as before and feel they have hope. They said that they are very busy all day long and just come home and drop into bed and then are up early going the next day. They really love the girls and they all seem to be getting along well together. I'll keep you posted with any updates as I receive them.

Thank you all for supporting our family!
