We can't believe it! Something actually happened in this process quicker than we were expecting. We received our phone call this morning from our agency that our court date has been set in Russia for April 21!!! That means we leave here in exactly 2 weeks from today! We had expected our court date to be at the end of the month so this was a wonderful surprise.
I am praising the Lord that I will be with my baby girl on Mothers Day and she will officially be ours. I remember feeling a little sad last Mothers Day, knowing my baby was somewhere out there and not knowing when I would be able to get to her, now this Mothers Day I will be holding her in my arms:-)

Praise the Lord! This sounds super. Looks like you got 14 days notice for travel which is about what we got. You should be able to get some good deals. If you need info. on Moscow apartments or anything else, let me know. I think I've sent you the map of the region and tips. If I haven't sent one or both of those, let me know.
So thrilled for you guys!! Praying, as always, for all the details to come together smoothly!

Hi! I kindof feel like I am intruding here...I found your blog through a mutual friend of Ryans. I went to school with Ryan...he might remember me as Kristi Kuney. From what I'm gathering...you guys are on quite a magnificent adventure and I will be praying for your entire family! We've adopted two children and know what a miracle it is!
Amy...
