So we got news today that we will be going to Russia on Saturday as planned. Praise God. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov did sign the treaty today. So there are hurdles that we will have to jump, but the good news is that, Lord willing, we will be able to secure this little girl for our family.
Pray that our visas get here on Friday (nothing like last minute).
Pray for Natalia, she will have to stay in her baby home for 2 or 3 more months. I can't wait to meet her! But to think of leaving her (now twice) breaks my heart. I will go by myself back for what is now our second trip and then we will both go for the third and final trip for our court date and to bring her home.
Hey Shannon! We will be praying. I have a random suggestion if you need help getting your visas. Sometimes a call to a congressman helps it along, they can get a hold of people who would never even talk to us lowly common folk. We had to do that for visas to India, and then again for JJ's passport for our honeymoon. We love you guys and pray that all goes according to God's will.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Danielle!! I really appreciate your prayers and advice. Our Visas are done, and are supposed to be being sent overnight today so they will be here tomorrow. Pray that they will make it with no delays!!
ReplyDeleteYay for leaving tomorrow! I am so excited for you guys and will be fervently praying for you guys while you are traveling, when you are in Russia, when you are meeting with various people, when you are spending time with precious Natalia and when you have to leave her and come home.
