We got our court petition and police clearances on Tuesday and our homestudy update on Friday. Praise God! They are now on their way to the Secretary of the Commonwealth for apostilles. Now that we have the homestudy update, we have also filed for our I-171H extension. The last two documents we need are the new I-171H and the letter from CPS. Please pray for these to arrive as quickly as possible (the I-171H usually takes several weeks, I'm hoping for a miracle...to have them within a week or two). If we get all of our documents within the next week or two, we will probably have a court date in mid to late January.
Dasha's 2nd birthday is in less than two weeks (Dec.5). I wish we could be with her to celebrate. I wonder if the orphanage will recognize her birthday or if she won't even know that she is turning two years old.
Please pray for Dasha and her birthmother on her birthday. Also, please continue to pray for financial matters relating to the adoption and that God would continue to provide what we need to finish the adoption and for me to be able to take off a couple weeks when we get home from Russia (my job only allows 4 weeks of sick leave to be taken for an adoption, then it's unpaid leave...at this point we can only afford for me to take off while we are in Russia. Please pray that God would provide for more time for us to bond as a family before I have to return to work.)

Father, I pray you would speak to Susan's boss. Allow him to feel Your heartbeat on adoption. I pray with Susan that she will have time to spend with Dasha, one-on-one before returning to work. Thank you for court dates and travel mercies and the blessing of provision for bringing their daughter home. In Jesus name...
