Many of you must be wondering when you will see or read about our new son (our kids have asked every day)…
While we have one specially little guy that we are focusing on, it has been difficult to see the orphanage doctor and get all the information we want before making a final decision. Today we finally received most of the information and we will have a conference call with our doctor back in the states later today. Until we make that final decision, we thought we would continue to share other experiences, so today’s blog update will be on our new home away from home…
We live at 19 Barayev Street Apt #29 (still under some construction)…

We live at 19 Barayev Street Apt #29 (still under some construction)…
Security doesn’t seem to be an issue, here are our keys…
… the outside door has an electronic lock on it that takes a special chip to get in (the little black and silver thing on our key chain)…
…we have two apartment doors the first has two keys (the strange looking things on our key chain) and is a door similar to the outside door…
…the second apartment door is more like one of our interior doors in the U.S…
…then you finally get into our entrance way…
…it is custom here to take your shoes off when you enter a home…
…our living room (with one good looking man)…
…our bed room…
…our kitchen…
…some of our groceries…
…our bathroom (two separated rooms)…
…our washing machine…
…Jen is still trying to figure our how to work it???
…and our clothes dryer…
Although it is not home, we do feel very fortunate to have such a nice place to stay and call home…temporarily. It is truly amazing how many things you can do with out and you really don’t miss (like a 42” flat LCD TV, reclining couch, or automatic ice makers). And believe or not only after only a few days, what we miss most, is the sounds of our children (playing, running, and even the fighting)!!!
Feel free to post comments to us... we really do miss interaction with Home....

Jay and Jennifer,
I'm sure God will continue to guide you as He has so far. Thanks for the update and I'll be praying that you get the information you need today.
Looks like a nice home away from home! Can't wait to hear about your decision and see pictures of your little cutie soon!
Love the pics. We can't wait to see pics of the little guy. Hope everything goes well. We will keep you in our prayers. Saw the kids Sunday and they seem to be doing well, even Ms. Personality (a.k.a. Zoe). I think Ellie and her were meant to be sisters. Take care!
the keys look strange and I hope to see a picture or out brother soon.
Love the accommodations. It doesn't seem all that bad. It seems rather cozy for the two of you. Kind of brings you back to the early days when you're younger. I've been praying for God to give you answers and fill your heart with peace in these days ahead. Glad you got your luggage too.
Blessing to you both.
Jay and Jennifer,
Thanks for sharing you journey with us. Things are going well back at GFS, so don't let Jay spend to much time on e-mail.

Mom and Dad,
I luv u sooooo much. I hope to see my little brother soon.
PS I miss you.
Those pics of the apartment are cool. It looks like a nice place. I'm glad you have somewhere that feels a little more like your own space than a hotel would.
I didn't realize there would be others there you could connect with who are going through the process as well. What a blessing that must be!
Much love ~ Jess Gonyou :-)
It looks very homey, but we can't wait to see the little guy too, hope to see him soon! We are praying for you!

Wow! Things are going well now that you got your luggage. The place looks nice and it looks like you are settled in and well cared for. I can't wait to hear about the "little man" (and see pictures!) Take care and enjoy the trip. I know how great it is to hear from those of us at home. I'm glad you have this blog to allow us to follow along and for you to hear we are thinking of you often. Can you imagine not having the internet? Also, glad you found some shopping to do...a girl has to shop!
Hey guys, thanks for the pics! What an amazing journey! Just keep leaning on God and his Holy Spririt to direct your way!
I can not believe how nice your appartment looks. It looks much different than Esil. I like your comments on the 90 mile per hour driving - I remember it well. I can't wait to see a picture of your new little guy. I am sure he will be just adorable!
