Released!

We received word that our kids have been released for adoption! That means we could be getting a court date ANY DAY NOW!

Please be praying during this most important time. We are still in need of funds to make the trip to Russia. We have several grant applications in and are waiting to hear whether or not we have been approved for the grants. Pray that God will provide all that is needed for us to complete this adoption!

And pray for God's timing on the court date. Obviously, we want to go as soon as possible. But we also want to be home before Christmas. The Penza court could set a date anytime between now and who-knows-when! So pray for God's timing.

Thank you for standing with us! We thank God for each and every one of you. Your words of encouragement and support help more than you know!

Blessings,

Glen, Cyndy and Nathan

Everything is Done!

Yesterday, Cyndy FedExed all of the remaining documents to Texas. Our agency will then send it all to Russia for translation and submission to the Penza court! We are all done!!! Rejoice with us!

Please pray that the court will accept the housing documents as is and that we don't have to do more to satisfy them. We have already done and redone those documents. Also, pray that the medical specialists letters and supporting documentation will be acceptable.

If everything is accepted, and all goes as expected, we should be receiving an "Acceptance of Referral" which means approval to adopt and a court date to appear in Penza. Pray for God's timing.

And pray for God's provision. We still need a LOT of money in order to go and get the kids. We are trusting God and exploring all the avenues, including applying for grants. Pray that it will all be there when needed.

Thank you for standing with us in prayer! This has been a long process (and it is isn't over yet!). It is hard to believe that coming up in December, we will have been at this for a year!

We'll keep you posted!

Blessings,

Glen and Cyndy

Finished!

Whew! We have finially finished seeing all of the medical specialists required in recent decisions by the Penza court! And we were able to do it all for under $1000! Praise God! Thank you for all your prayers and suggested doctors!

Now we have to get the letters notarized, certified and apostilled and over-nighted to our adoption agency by Friday! NO PROBLEM!!

Once all of our paper work is in Russia, it is only a matter of time before we get a court date. Pray for God's timing. We are so excited we cannot stand it! We will keep you posted.

Blessings,

Glen and Cyndy
