Exciting news today!

We were able to talk to our coordinator this morning regarding our next steps in the process.  Typically when a family is registered it means a referral of a child will be coming within 2-3 weeks, however, for reasons unknown at this time Russia seems to be moving slower than normal for referrals.  Our coordinator felt that we should be prepared to travel within the next 2-3 months.  That is great news!  The race is on to get the things accomplished that we wanted to before we meet her.  We do need prayer that some paperwork we need from The Netherlands would come quickly and not delay these plans.  

It looks like we will be visiting Siberia at a very cold time of the year! I am not too interested in knowing what negative temperatures feel like, but of course Ryan in his love of the extremes can't wait:-)

Amy,
What wonderful news!!! Before you know it, you will be winging your way across the ocean to meet your precious daughter. (And happy belated birthday! Chris's b.day was yesterday - the 3rd.)

Praying still for God's perfect timing to continue....
