no fast pass

Unlike Disney, there is no fast pass for the adoption process. We continue to wait and gather more documentation. Last week was spent with adoption related doctor's appointments for Marisa. You all will be happy to know that she does not have tuberculosious (required test in for our process). We found out that we have to have a psych eval, so Jason spent his week tyring to track down a psychologist that would do the eval and not charge us an arm and a leg.

So we contintinue to wait. It reminds me of Isaiah 40:31 "but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint"

A huge thanks to all of you out there that are praying for us! We appreciate it!

And finally we have managed to load some of our Russia pictures (over on the right). Again for the privacy of the kids we will not be sharing any pictures of them.

We're back!

We made it back home with no problem. We have learned that the people of Asiana Airlines know how to take care of their customers. We had good flights. Managed to catch some sleep while on the flight home. We are back, we are back at work...of course we get Good Friday off. So we only actually worked two days this week.

So some of you are probably wondering what now? Now we wait. The Department of Education in Russia needs to process paperwork for the boys, we need to prep some paperwork for us. We are not sure yet when we will be going back. We hope that it is sometime this summer but we do not have a good indicator of when it will be.

Their room is mostly ready. We ordered mattresses. Tomorrow is shopping day....or at least the first of many I'm sure. Tomorrow is some basics, sheets, blankets, maybe a beanbag....whatever mom and I can find while out shopping.

We'll try to get some random Russia scenery pictures posted in the next week or so.

We'll keep you posted as things progress.
