Merry Christmas!

Yes, I know that we celebrated Christmas two weeks ago. But January 7th (which it is Jan.7 right now in Krasnoyarsk because of the 12 hour time difference) is Russian Orthodox Christmas, so today is Christmas in our baby's homeland. So Merry Christmas Dasha!

We are hoping to hear about a court date soon. Over the holiday break, we received an email that one of our documents had a mistake and needed to be redone immediately and sent directly to our facilitator in Krasnoyarsk. Sounds like good news to me, it means they are looking at our paperwork and need it to be in order. We checked with Fed-Ex and Krasnoyarsk is so far away that it is not even in their delivery area! We also checked with DHL and they could do it pretty fast but their only international shipping office is at the airport and would be over $100 to ship the document. Luckily, there is a woman we know from our Yahoo group who kindly agreed to take it with her this weekend and deliver it for us, since she is picking up her daughter this week. Thank you Lord for your perfect provision! Please keep this woman in your prayers as she brings her little girl home.

We are hoping for a court date the beginning of February (the 5th is my birthday, so that would be really cool!). If not, we will continue to rest in God's arms as He prepares our hearts to be Dasha's Mama and Papa. He has done such amazing things so far, and He will finish what He has started!
