A little bit of ‘us’ is heading to Vlad

I have been meaning to blog about this for several days. We are so excited for the upcoming days. Our blogger friend Amy is leaving for Vlad on Wednesday of this week to be reunited with her daughter. Her daughter is in Artyem baby home with Blake. She has graciously agreed to hand deliver an album we made for him. She is going to see if they will allow her to take some pictures to email to us. Just knowing that she is going to be able to report back how things are going in Artyem brings us a bit of peace. We are praying for her safe travels, for a smooth court process, and a great bonding time with her and Little T. Justin and I are also praying that she gets to personally hand deliver our album to Blake and reassure him that MaMa and PaPa will be coming back for him. So we are essentially going to be Amy ‘stalkers’ for the next month – lol!

Justin and I are a bit more relaxed than we were a week ago. We have been in touch with some very fortunate families that have traveled a week after us and in January, and they already have a court date or know the day their paperwork goes in front of their judge. It is hard not to get a bit anxious knowing that we still have no information – but that is typical for this process. As most of you know Justin is a grain farmer, so with each passing day we get closer and closer to the planting season. It will be ummmm…. shall we say interesting… if we are called to Russia in April. I guess in the end everything will fall into place and God’s plan will be revealed.

Until then we will live vicariously through Amy!
