Yes, we're still here. We are "ready" to go, at least as ready as we know how to be. We are slowly packing and continue to work on our Russian language. We are into summer mode now, so we are enjoying a bit of down time and the ability not to be so scheduled. The boys are definitely enjoying no homework. We continue to pray for our "A" to be patient and to know that we are coming, even though the time must seem so much longer for him. We know that God is in control of the timing, and that he has a reason for everything. Some days we are more patient than others. We're looking forward to our trip, and to seeing what Russia is like and experiencing a little bit of what "A" has grown up with culturally. We continue to feel our love for him grow, which we are sure is an act of God, being that we have spent so little time with him.
Please pray for us for peace in the process, for the ability to make good decisions about accommodations, the court process, for "A" to be able to adjust to life with us, and for him to come to know Christ personally.
We are so thankful for your prayers throughout this process.
We are currently on the road to adopting a thirteen-year-old boy from Russia, who crossed our path and forever changed our hearts. As we look back, we can see so many ways that God was preparing our hearts to be open to adoption. To some it may seem accidental or coincidental, but to us it is more. It is God working. We would love for you to join us on this blog and to pray along with us as we take this step of faith.
