I have a court date of (drum roll please), Monday, March 26th!!!!! Praise God for miracles! Thanks to all who have prayed fervently for Zack and Sophia and also for the timing in which I will get to bring them home.
Please continue to pray not only for my little family, but also, for all of the other kids waiting for their court dates, and also those waiting for someone to claim them as their own. No matter how much work this has been, it is so worth it. I can think of no better way to leave a mark on the world than to extend God's love to those in need.
A special thanks to all of you who have donated to the cause! I have been blessed beyond measure all the way down to the homeless woman who handed my mom $2 for Zack and Sophia! Anyone who knows me knows that those dollar bills are being framed as a sign of God's hand in this entire process of bringing Zack and Sophia into his flock. God has impressed upon me that He has placed people with huge hearts in my midst. I am truly blessed.
And, for the official record, Jim is a softy (unless Gina is misbehaving)!!! :) A special thanks must go out to the MLO team who has prayed over me and down right bathed me in love. What an incredible joy it has been to be a surrogate part of your team!!!!!
The Russian system is so unpredictable that one cannot count on anything as sure, but I have been blessed by God's orchestration of this very special event!!! I give Him all of the glory!

Best wishes and prayer to you for a smooth court process and a favorable ruling.
I'm really enjoying your blog - more than you could ever know. After months of research we have decided to adopt from Russia. I sat down today to find some "good" stories about Russian adoption. Anyone with a lick of sense would run for the hills after reading some of the stories I've read! So, it's just so nice to hear a nice one. Your kids sound absolutely terrific and very well loved and cared for! I can't wait to hear the rest -- please don't stop the blog! Best of luck to you!!
It is so wonderful to experience how God has pulled this together. To feel the results of so many praying for you! I can remember who posted scripture right after the notice on Saturday, but waiting on the Lord was right! Now, off to see Zack and Sophie!!!
YAHOO!! Can't wait to see photos of those babies! Godspeed and safe travels! Lisa
Wonderful, excellent news! We'll be praying that all your travels and court appointments and exams and etc. go well.
Of course, now it's out in the blogosphere that Jim's a softy. What are the ramifications and consequences of this information being unleashed? shudder...
I've just gotten caught up....can't believe what a roller coaster this has been, right to the end! Praise God that he gives us the strength to get through this stuff.
Good Luck on your trip and many prayers to you, Gina, Zack and Sophie. Be safe and have fun.
Wonderful news! Godspeed.
How'd it go, Deana? Praying for you all.
