Wow! It finally happened! We got our referral- the referral. After a rollercoaster ride- such an emotional week (but one that kept me at His feet)- we received a referral on Thursday around 6 pm. Our son....our son....
He is precious and we can't wait to meet him. I can't share much detail at this time because he isn't legally ours. But I will say that I see God's hand all over this. That's a confirmation.
I feel very peaceful and right about the decision. Nervous, of course, but it just feels right.
We leave to go meet him the day after Christmas (December 26th). We are to leave the 26th, arrive in Russia the 27th, see him the 28th- 30th and then fly home December 31st.
I have oh so very much to do with adoption preparation, final paperwork for the adoption, Christmas and enjoying the kids.
But I know it will all work out if I pray and just keep going.
So thrilled to share more as we know it.
What a gift! We are thrilled to see a glimpse at what God has been preparing us for in recent years. The addition of our son.
God has already used this journey to grow us and stretch us in ways that we needed to be stretched. This child has already been a blessing to our family.

Yay! you got it up and running! SO good to read back through some of your posts. I love seeing God's hand span over time. As I prepare for Mia's welcome home open house tomorrow, I am excited to think about you all getting to do the same in just a few short months! Praying for strength wisdom and most of all a deeper revelation of the Father himself, as HE is our greatest treasure! Can't wait to meet our new nephew :-)
