We have finally decided her name and want to share it with everyone. When we found out that she wasn't called Tatiana at the orphanage, we thought about changing her name to something else but keeping Tatiana in her name somewhere. So, her name after much input and thought will be Hannah Tatiana Sheldon! Hannah in Hebrew means Grace (of God) or favor which we believe she is grace given to us from God. Hannah in the bible was Sammuel's mother and she has a beautful prayer in Samuel 2. One part in verse 2 "There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God."
A bit of good news: I talked with Christi (our coordinator here) and she told me that Hannah has been released from the Russian data bank and now the judge is looking for a court date, so we may be leaving in late March to get her. We are planning to take Luke with us this time, and he is very excited about meeting his sister. We should be gone for three weeks or more and feel like this is the right decision for our family. He will miss a lot of school but his school would want it this way too!
My paperwork is going, but not great. We have had lots of sickness here(mainly me) which has slowed me down a little bit, but soon that will be a blink of an eye forgotten.

That is a beautiful name, Missy! We are following your developments and keeping you in our prayers. I can't wait to hear about Luke meeting Hannah for the first time and that you are headed home with your little girl.
Much love - all the Lemicks
