We Have a Court Date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drum rollllllll..............

It's true we finally have a court date on April 24th! We will leave on the 20th of April and come home on the 16th of May. It's a long stay for many reasons. We will have a ten day waiting period (required) in Russia after our court date, and then we run into a bunch of Russian holidays that will cause us to be there even longer. At the end of our trip, we will be in Moscow the last eight days to get paperwork done, get her U.S. passport at the embassy, and go to the Russian consulate for more paperwork. I think once this is over, we need to plant a tree because all this paperwork has caused the demise of many trees.

I hope to be in touch while in Russia by Internet and keep up with this blog when possible. If anyone has Skype, we will be able to talk from Russia and it's free!

We are praising God for this precious child and even in my weakness, God's unending faithfulness to our family was already there.
