God Provides!

We have great news! Some very close friends of ours told us that they are planning to give a substantial donation for our adoption in the next month. The amount of the donation will be more than enough to complete the dossier phase of the process, which is the very next step! We had been wondering (ok, worrying!) where the money would come from. We knew God had called us to this adoption, but we weren't sure where all of the money would be coming from. This phase is critical, as a delay in submitting the dossier means a delay in going to get the kids. Now we can go forward and hope for an early court date.

Jessica and Sam become available for adoption in mid August. Our plan (now that we have the funds) is to submit the dossier so that it is translated and ready for the Russian court in Penza the first day they are available. Hopefully, the court will set a court date in early October and we can begin to make plans for returning to Russia to bring our kids home!

Thank you to all who have been praying for us! And thank you for your generous donations. We are not fully funded, but we can proceed now with the dossier and the court date. We are also applying for some grant money. Keep praying!

Thank you, God, for your plentious provisions! We give Him all the glory!
