I thought they were considering just leaving both of them behind or maybe waiting till they're legally adults. Like Pastor Tim pointed out to them, in a few years it won't even be their decision to make. I'm not sure if he was saying it's now or never for you to do this or he was warning them that even if they go there it doesn't guarantee they'll stay there.
I think with Henry going off to that school and being close to Chris's family and Paige gearing up for college....they might think it's best to just let them live their, already established, lives. Henry and Paige have no reverence, nostalgia, or solid ties to Russia like Philip and Elizabeth, obviously do. However much it may hurt for them to realize, it's just not their kids country or home and I find it hard to believe they'd adjust to it.
That's an interesting point you raise saying once the word is out the Centre might not let them take that back, so to speak. That would be quite the quagmire! I'm not sure, I could see this going either way...for some reason I always felt like they'd be separated somehow, so maybe one of them will stay and one will go (as in Philip or Elizabeth not Paige or Henry).
