We have mailed off our dossier (which is the fancy name they use to talk about the huge stack of paperwork that goes to Russia). We mailed it to the State Dept. to get apostilled---that's adoption lingo for "super notary". It should be back tomorrow and then we are done except for that one small little thing called the homestudy. The same thing we've been working on since October. It is almost done too, just waiting on a few things to be edited and signed. Realistically, we are looking at probably the end of next week to mail everything to EAC for them to send it to Russia!!! Yeah!!!
Daniel and I both talked with our caseworker tonight. We went over everything that is our upcoming process. Our referral, first trip, second trip, third trip, and possible 4th trip. What info. we would get in our referral, what to do in country, what not to do in country, how long in between trips, how much money to take, etc...Like I said..everything that is our life in a few weeks. I have been praying that God would allow us to bring our son home by the summer. After talking with Kim tonight, that is not looking very promising, but I know God is faithful and his timing is perfect. I trust Him to bring us together at exactly the right moment. I can't wait to meet our son...I am so anxious to finally know his name, see his face, get to hold him and play with him. It's coming, just not soon enough for me :)
Our biggest prayer request right now is still for God to provide financially. We are a long way from where we need to be. We know God will provide, we are trusting only in Him. Also, please keep praying for our baby. He is waiting for us right now, needing someone to hold him and love him. Pray that God will keep him in his arms until we can get him home.
