I know there are a few of you out there who religiously check to see what is new each morning (Good Morning, Aunt Sadie!) and since it's almost Friday, I figured I'd give you an update to get you through the weekend.
I got an e-mail from our Agency today indicating that all our revised dossier paperwork has been prepped and cleared for Russia and that it will be "hand carried" over to Russia by Deborah and Shawn (our gracious photographers from last post). They are flying to Ekaterinburg this Saturday and will arrive Sunday night. Since we're working with the same Agency and in-country coordinators, Deborah and Shawn will give all the p/w to Olga upon arrival. This means that Olga will take the p/w and get it translated into Russian next week. After translation, the next destination: the judge.
My heart just flutters when I think that I have done all that we can do and now it rests in so many others' hands! The judge may take days or weeks to look at it. She may request more changes (grant me patience now, if so...) or she may simply look on a calendar and set a court date. We just don't know. Talk about feeling out of control!
But that's ok ~ our faith has gotten us this far and we've put all control into God's hands. In the meantime, we talk about K, look at her picture constantly, pray for her, and know that when the timing is right, she'll be in our arms forever. Мы любим вас, K! (We love you, K!)
Thank You
Deborah and Shawn: I remember back in September when we hand-carried p/w for two families...I felt like it was such a huge responsibility! We thank you so much for finding a tad bit more room in your luggage and bringing us one step closer to K. Godspeed and safe travels...and we look forward to hearing from you when you bring G home next week!

You write so beautifully! I am praying for you all the time, Laura! Praying that the judge will open her calendar and set the date! I can't wait for your little girl to be in your arms. Thanks for sharing the update - btw, I check much more often than every morning! :) I hope you are feeling better! Thinking of you with love, Donna xo
Another giant step closer. YOu are getting there. I can't wait to check one day and see that you are on your way. That's great that someone can bring the paperwork to Russia, a little less time wasted in the mail.

i hope when the paperwork gets to russia and is translated the judge will just set your court date. you have waited far too long! K needs to come home.
I was led to yor blog by a comment you left on mine. I know how hard the waiting is :(
I will include you in my prayers.
AWESOME! I ADMIRE YOUR POSITIVE OUTLOOK--I ALWAYS HAVE. THIS IS SUCH WONDERFUL NEWS!
Laura -- my thoughts will be with you, your paperwork, and this judge -- i pray she sees what she needs to set a court date... you are almost there... someday when K is in the backseat on a road trip saying "are we there yet?", you can both smile and say "just a little further".. and, no matter where it is you are going, you will know you will get there. because you will HAVE GOTTEN through all this, and K will be home... any mountain will be surmountable after all this is over and your new journey, with K home with you, begins.
