We Have a Date!!!

Almost 6 years ago we took this picture of our sweet Nicholas.  We had just recently returned home with him and we honestly believed that our adoption journey was finished.  Little did we know at the time the impact that trip would have on our future... way beyond finding our precious son.  

Ty and I were forever changed by the "face of the orphan" in ways that we did not even comprehend.  

Well if you have been following our story you understand some of the far reaching effects of that change.

Fast forward to present day... tomorrow January 20th at 10 am we will once again stand before a Ukrainian judge to seek permission to legally join Katya and Mariana to our family... forever.  Our hearts have known for some time that they are our daughters but Ukaine law will officially catch up to that fact tomorrow.

After court, a mandatory 10 day wait period will begin that will bring us to January 30th.  On the 31st we hope to get our court decree which will allow us to get new birth certificates, visas, and passports for the girls.  That may take between 4 -7 days.  

Then we will finally be able to begin our long journey home!!!

Please continue to pray for a smooth process and favor before the judge tomorrow (3am Friday morning your time).  We also ask for prayer for our girls, as leaving everything they know will be challenging at best.  

Praise God for His continued goodness in our lives!!!
