We have not heard a travel date for our 2nd trip.  All Russian governmental agencies shut down for their New Years Holiday from Dec 17-Jan 11 so we predict we will not hear a date until they get running again. The 2nd trip is for court and we also get to visit our little girl.  God willing, when that trip is complete we return home for about 2 weeks and then get to go back to pick up our little girl and bring her home!! The 3rd trip is about 10 days long so the plan is for me to go for the beginning and Chad will stay with the boys and work.  Toward the end of the trip Chad will come join me to bring our girl home.  The boys are very excited and have been helping me get her room ready and pick out special toys for her.  The wait to find out a court date has seemed very long but we just remind ourselves that she is God's Child and when the time is right he will make it all work.  Also we were told that the adoption process would take about 18 months and has gone so much faster than we would have ever predicted.  If we would not have fallen into the Holiday shut down we would have gone even faster.  Our dossier just left US on Sept 22.  Despite, this we are very excited to get her home to be part of our family.  Please pray that all will go well and she will be home soon.
