An update on us and prayers needed!
Our original agency is one which is not yet reaccredited. We took a leap of faith and completed a dossier for another agency. The good news: agency #1 refunded almost all of our money, wished us well, and asked that we keep them updated as to when we get home with our son! The bad news: Agency #2 has not been able to connect with the MOE in the region. A meeting is supposed to take place on Friday for the agency to hand-deliver our dossier to the MOE, if all parties involved are cooperating. We'd be thankful for any prayers directed toward this situation. In a couple of weeks it will be a year since we made trip#1 and met our son. God bless all of you who are also waiting!

Susan -
As it is nearing Friday over in Russia, I will be keeping you in my prayers through the evening and early tomorrow morning. Please send us an update when you get a chance. My heart aches for you and your family. May God open the doors so that you can bring this little boy home to a forever family. Mike

A Huge Thanks!
We received word that our dossier is now in the hands of the regional MOE's office, who will present it to the judge next week. One step closer to a court date! Thanks for all of your prayers!
