If all goes well and adoption goes through, the kids will get new names. I left this off the post last night but I thought this little video to be very cute as Roman wrote his potential new name for the 1st time. He is a very loving child that has needed this type of attention for a very long time. His sister Natalia came in the room early this morning looking for her little MP3 player that we bought her while they were in Pittsburgh this past summer. It is hard for any American kid to imagine just how big a deal this MP3 player is to these children. I hesitated to let her take it because she will be the envy of the orphanage and she may get picked on by the other kids because she has it. She even hesitates to wear her new glasses she got in the U.S. for fear of being made fun of. Children that lack attention can be very cruel. Some of the children here with medical issue are often tormented by the older ones.
Roman and Natalia were pulled from their regular day at the orphanage since they need a battery of medical exams required by the country of Ukraine and the United States before they can apply for U.S. citizenship.
As usual, I will keep you posted.,
