COURT DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Praise the Lord!!!  We are rejoicing that we have a court date on October 17th to adopt Andrew and Natasha.  It has been a long time and we are excited, nervous and happy all a the same time.  

Our appointment is at 9:30 on Friday a week from today.  After that, there is a 10 day waiting period for the Russian government to put the kids paperwork (passports, birth certificates ect) in order, then we go to the American Embassy in Moscow and process them a visa for America.  

Our plan is to fly home on November 1 and stay there for 1 month.  

Please join with us in prayer as we prepare our home, hearts and lives for these precious children.  Pray that we will not have any suprises at court and that the kids will adjust to our family and bond with us quickly.  

Christian is SOOOOO excited -- he was just giddy with excitement about getting to see them soon.  He does not get to visit them in the orphanage.
