The above is a picture of the inside of a cathedral in Kiev at the main monestary called the Lavra (no doubt my spelling is wrong). There are 28 different chapels in this complex and a good bit of history.
This is the picture of the kids as we were leaving. They would only let us see them together once we had agreed to leave. The women in back are just some of the army of orphanage staff that accompanied us and the kids while we were there. The kids were clearly intimidated and scared the entire time.

What a disappointment! We are keeping you in our prayers!
Carlin and Troy, My heart is breaking for you. I can't even begin to imagine all that you must be going through. You are in our prayers. We love you guys!
I just can't tell you how sorry I am things went so terrible. How sad for you and especially for the children being held against their will.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
On a lighter note...cool picture of the square.You look freezing though!
Note to self: Pack gloves and hat!
I am so sorry.
Carlin,
I can't believe the turn of events for you and the children. I bet you are just emotionally drained. I am touched that you are looking at other kids, but that has got to be so hard with the love you feel for the others. Hope you can keep us posted and know you are in or prayers.
The pictures are great. I was so sad to see the kids and know everything that has been going on. We love you and you are in our prayers.
Add your prayers for the hearts of the staff and director at Kremenchuk to be softened. Also for Marina, Evon and Anna so they will know in their hearts that they have been told lies and that Carlin and Troy would love them and make them their family. Rita
My heart aches for you and those children! You will all be in my prayers.
We are praying so hard for you! I'm so sorry that you are having to deal with this...our hearts are breaking for you. We hope they change their minds and see what an incredible opportunity it would be for these children to have you as parents! We love you!
With so many orphans in the world, you would think governments would make it just a little bit easier to adopt. I am so sorry to hear of what is going on and you are in our prayers and our thoughts. The kiddos are, too.
Good luck this week! We'll be praying for you and all the other families coming soon.
