Court Date!!!

We received the court date call today!! We will be standing in front of the Russian judge on July 17th.....yep we leave 5 WEEKS from now. Not what we expected (we expected much sooner) but we are so excited and blessed to be on the books!!!!! Visa applications in process, flights are booked...finally, yes that's what I did ALL day....minus a trip to the pediatric dentist...Hannah chipped a tooth. Ouch. But it is booked and we'll be getting our hotel arrangements this weekend! Its looking like we'll be bringing James home the end if August now. Please keep the prayers coming!!! Pray for safe travel and a 'Da' (Yes!) from the judge!
To be continued..... :)

Delay update...

We finally got some good news from Russia. James' paperwork is complete. Our dossier will be in the hands of one lucky Russian judge next Thursday so we should hear something by the end of the following week...hopefully. Not the timeline we wanted but guess what? We aren't in charge...God is!
