We got the news we've been praying for! Please give thanks to God today! We are leaving Sept 20 to go get our little boy from Siberia. Carl and I have now switched into high gear - we have a list a mile long of things we need to do before we leave the country. So I will be buckled down and busy every second of every day.
Our schedule is as follows:
Sept 20 - Arrive to Moscow
Sept 21 - Medical evaluation (of Carl and me) in Moscow
Sept 21 - Depart Moscow for Siberia at 10:05pm
Sept 22 - Arrive in Siberia @ 5:30am
Sept 22 - Orphanage
Sept 23 - Court
Sept 24 - Leave the Region for Moscow at 6:50am - this is the depressing part. This is the first we are hearing that we cannot stay in Siberia while we wait to get our little boy. We are told now that we have to leave the region and come back to get him. This changes everything for us. It is possible we will come back to the U.S. and make a 3rd trip back to Siberia. I'm PRAYING we do not have to do this - but there is good reason to return to the U.S. Carl cannot waste a single vacation day this year. Please, please pray the judge waives our 10 day waiting period after our court day and we do not have to leave Siberia after our court date.

I'm sure this has to be the most exciting time for you, yet presents a whole new meaning of "patience". Prayers will be going up from here that the 10 day waiting period will be waived. Just go in and talk to the judge Wendi, when he hears that sweet southern voice he will melt. God is getting ready to bless you beyond belief. I can't imagine the anxiety you are experiencing but I do know God is with you all the way. Can't wait to hear that you are Siberia bound and have that precious little bundle in your arms and in your home. God bless you and Carl. Love ya! Pam
