Today involved meeting with the orphanage director, assitant director, and doctor to learn about the kids. They also let us see the areas where Yana lives (bedroom, classroom, play room) but we couldn't see Gena's area because it's being renovated while the kids are at camp.
After that, we traveled to the camp to spend some more time with Yana and Gena. It was only an hour because they had to go for lunch and nap time. We came back to camp at 4:15 and spent around two more hours with them. Gena was much more enthusiastic about joining the family and coming to America. Both kids are worried about learning English. We asked about their favorite foods and it turns out that they like to eat macaroni and cheese (or at least the Russian version of it). They also like to drink Coca-Cola, so we got them each a can as a special treat. We also asked them if they wanted to join our family... and they both said "Da" with big smiles. We were also able to get some measurements for clothing for when we return to Russia for the court date.
