We just want to pass along the news that we received today regarding our upcoming trip to Russia. A few days ago we were told by our case worker that we had to wait for a Russian family to sign a letter of intent stating that they either accepted or declined our little Natalia. Since she is still only available to Russian citizens, we know it is a very real possible outcome that a Russian family will adopt her. However, this morning we got the call that we were waiting for. We were told the Russian family declined Natalia and we have the green light to press on to Russia, departing next week! So, we have to jump back into the paperwork process, make travel plans, and handle our normal day-to-day activities as we prepare for our first trip. We will be going from 16-24 July and will appreciate your prayers and support during the next few weeks. We will send more updates as they become available to us, but for right now, we ask for prayers for patience and calm in an otherwise crazy whirlwind of events.
