Hopefuly we will be traveling this spring to meet and bring home our little one(s). We hope that by reading our story you are able to follow our journey and learn about the process of adoption.

Half way through 7-7

Not much new to report today except that we are half way through the official visitation. It has been raining a lot here recently so this keeps us inside more than we really like. We should have a busy weekend coming up and we have also been told that on Friday we should start seeing him two times a day. YEAH! Yesterday we did the paperwork for his Visa and Passport. Our agency will mail this off to Astana so that our paperwork will be in order for court as soon as we are done with our official visits. We could really use some prayers that the judge will be able to have court with us shortly after our visits end and that we will be able to take him “home” with us that day. Beth and Linda, thank you so much for gathering things for us. We can not wait to get home and let him meet his fan club.

Hooray for 2 visits a day. . .you're movin' on up in the world! Yesterday Julila, Amelia and I planted moonflowers and talked about how Baby Bug has big brown eyes like the two of them ~ "and you?" said Amelia. Sweet.

Enjoy each moment of this time.

Off to work.

Love you,
Sharron : )

We are praying that EVERYTHING goes smoothly and quickly and that you cntinue tyo have great favor there, esp. with the court.

What an exciting time. It is like a pregnancy where you get to see the baby and hold him each day. We can tell that little JED has found his mom and dad and he sure knows it... for sure..

Give him hugs and kisses from all of us.. Tell him about all the family he has and how much everyone loves him..

You are so blessed...

Dad and Carol

We are on it. I am having fun getting things gathered.
There is nothing more fun than preparing for the entrance of a baby into our world.
Love,
Jim and Beth
