Now starts the race!

Well, we got a call from Valerie and the last bit of paperwork is needed! We are redoing our police clearance and our medicals (they expire) and our letter to the Supreme Court. We are just waiting on database slips and then we get our court date.

I am leaving for Virginia the 23rd (welcoming my new grandbaby) and so I have to get this all gathered together before I leave so Lloyd does not have to do it.

I also have to get the Visa application ready so that as soon as we know our date, I can send it off.

Russia is now requiring another medical to be done here, with xrays and everything that we have to bring to their medical center! I sure wish our insurance covered yearly check ups, stupid Blue Cross! We are still paying on the last set of physicals and blood tests.

Just found out I will be needing to take $27,000 cash to Russia, that is a scary thought to me. I have never seen that much cash!

I know God is in control and He will provide everything and it is in His timing. I am just a little, well a lot overwhelmed right now.

It's funny, I was talking to a dear friend that has already brought their children home and we were remembering back at how overwhelming we thought the beginning was. We now know that was nothing lol. But God has seen us through this so far, He will continue to carry us through.

Pray that the judge will waive the 10 day waiting period for us, that will save a lot of money!
