WELCOME! We have decided to adopt a child from Russia! God has led us in this direction. This blog is an effort to journal and share our journey.

As we wait

David and I went out today to get updated cell phones AND to look for provisions for when we travel on our first trip . We're not sure when that will be but thought it would be wise to start gathering.

I finally got a camera phone!!! Here's a shot I took of David looking at luggage. We already have luggage, just not the right sizes, so we thought we'd take a gander at some other things. We didn't end up get anything but I think the phone takes a pretty decent picture! :)

I found the cutest little blanket at Target. I just knew when I saw it that it should go to our child while he waits for us to bring him home. If anyone knows David, you'll see what I'm talking about... David is a cartoon monkey fanatic. :) Of course, as a baby blanket should be, it's SOOO soft and cuddly. I hope our child likes it! It's sitting in my arms right now! *sigh*
We also picked up some other things we thought would come in handy. It's not near everything, but it's a start. I have a whole list of things to collect, thanks to those who have gone before!

I've think I have seen that design on the baby blanket before, If I see any of these designs, would you want me to pick them up for you?

No, Andrea, but thank you. We haven't decided on a theme.

I love the monkey blanket!
Buying the necessities for your trip will make it seem more of a reality.
