<human>: I am a 16 y/o male, and I have a younger brother who's 11. I have three older brothers and a sister all of whom are in college. As I said in the question, my family recently committed I adopting a 9 year old boy, a 12 year old girl, and a 15 year old boy. We get the opportunity to Skype with them on occasion, but the language barrier always prevents us from really having a meaningful conversation. Is there anyone in here that could give me advice as to how to learn Russian as best I can before July? Secondly, when we do go over to Kiev to finally meet them in person and bring them home, any advice about the city or basic things we need to know? I know the metro transit system is essential, and we have some idea of what were doing. I feel like the slightest bit of useful advice could making things much smoother.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: my family is adopting three kids from the Ukrain, does anyone have any advice or tips on anything, litterally anything, related to this? Stories about adoption? Feel free to ask for clarification I was a bit rushed.
