I knew our turn-around for travel dates would be quick, but not this quick! It was about 3:30/4:00 on Friday afternoon that our agency received our dossier and re-sent it out the door. It was about 12:00 noon today that we received our tenative travel dates. Yikes! Talk about having me speechless! We had to choose to either travel 2 weeks from today or we would have to wait until the end of March. Wow! Talk about taking a leap of faith, huh? We chose the tenative dates of 2 weeks away. So here we go planning to visit our daughter by the end of the month. Woo hoo!
II Corinthians 5:7 "For we walk by faith, not by sight."
We traveled to a place that is about 14 degrees (on a good day) so that we could pick up our daughter. Were we crazy? Nope--we just have a heart that is open to following wherever God leads us to adopt.
If you've arrived at our blog because you are adopting from Murmansk, Russia and you want to learn more...you can either start at the beginning of our blog or you can work backwards from when we brought Daughter of Purpose home in May of 2008. We're so glad you're on the road to bringing an orphan into your family. It's at the center of God's heart!

Here she is!
