We are still waiting for internet to be installed in our apt. here in Kharkov. Our facilitator is so upset because she wants us safe in our apt. not out at McDonald's WiFi. I so desparately want to give details, but again it is getting dark and we took all our time checking emails and trying to Skype my dad. We visit Irina everday around 10am until 12pm. A driver picks us up to take us to her orphanage. It is out of the city, so it takes 30 min to get there. She has taken to us very quickly. She wants to come with us everyday,and is tired of waiting. It is very hard to keep telling her we can't take her with us yet. She tries very hard to learn English words. She can count to ten and say the alphabet. She is very smart and very active just like all Allen children.
Here are a few more pictures of our Miss Personality.
Irina looks positively radiant when she's with you two! :) My family and I have been praying for two other families who are in the adoption process and we will add you guys. :) I have seen some truly amazing things happen. Keep up the faith, don't get discouraged. You are on the home stretch now! I am so happy that Irina has bonded with y'all so well. We will be praying that the three of you will be home in the U.S. for good very soon.
