Next Phase

We had our home visit tonight to fulfill the last of the requirements for the Home Study Update. As usual, it was very pleasant and not too grueling. We're hoping our report will come quickly. I found out that this update will need an apostille so that means at least one more trip to Tallahassee before we head out to Russia.

We also found out that our Petition is on it's way to Russia, as of this past Monday. The earliest we could hear something about a court date and travel itinerary would be next Wednesday the 11th. So, we're back to "waiting". Well, meantime we are preparing for travel, collecting all the necessary clothing and accessories. This will help so we're not scrambling at the last minute.

On a side note, the family that got their referral and petition at the same time we got ours is having a slight delay in getting their petition off to Russia. At the last minute they found out they need one additional document from their state (they should have it very soon) before they can send it off. We would really like to travel with this family so please join us in prayer that we end up with the same court date, God willing. Thank you!

Happy Birthday Luca!!! I miss you!
