Here are all of our gifts to the orphanage and our stuff for Oksana:
Changing into her new clothes:
Ready to Go!
Telling the orphanage workers "Paka!" They were SO excited and a big crowd of them hung around until we left:
All of the kids combs. Oksana's is the yellow one:
Oksana's bed is the little one in the corner:
Leaving the gate of the orphanage for the last time!:
She had to hold onto one of each of our hands the whole time. She did great in the car and would look up at us and smile:
Checking out her new books at the apartment:
She climbed up on the bed right away and started arranging the pillows while she laughed hysterically. Then she plopped down to check out her comfy new spot:

OHHHHH it's happened it's really happened. OH I can't even hold the tears back watching Oksana how in the world will I do this for Ivanna!!! The picture of her in the car holding both of your hands is the absolute GREATEST to me!! That little girl was READY to go!! Congrats to infinity and beyond!!
Congratulations on finally having your sweet daughter with you. She looks so happy. I wish you all the best :)
The greatest moment I've had in a long time! I now have a granddaughter too! This is way beyond how I thought I'd react.
So happy to see her in beautiful clothes, outside of the orphanage walls. Praying blessings on your last few days there, and on your journey home.
