Second Adoption Journey

One thing about this adoption journey is we had to leave Pasha behind because school started week before last.  And we have been missing him and all our children and grandchildren.    It’s amazing how much we talk about them while we are here and I suppose that keeps them close to us in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.  We have been skyping with our daughter as much as possible and we are hoping tomorrow we can skype with our son so he can meet the children.

Early Monday morning we got to let Pasha talk with his two friend that we are hoping soon will be his brother and sister.  One of his former teachers also got to see him and talk with him, it was wonderful to talk with Pasha, he was very sleepy, because his sister had to get him up so he could talk.  I know he is so excited and I hope he understands when we tell him we have to come back to finish up
.
I was talking with Kathy this morning and one thing we have noticed this time, everything seems to be more expensive.  I know the currency here is losing its value, and that concerns me for the children, but at the same time our cost for everything is greater, but I know God will provide for us this time like he always has in the past.  We have one day left in the city for medical testing then we will be taking the children back to their facility another 5 hour ride on bumpy roads.    Hopefully we will meet with the DAP office, (same as our DHR office), and hopefully get their approval to proceed with the adoption.  Either way we are hoping to fly home Saturday and come back in almost 2 months to finish.  Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we continue our adoption journey to bring Pasha’s hope to be brother and sister home.  

On a sad note, just like our last journey we had some friends to die while we were here for Pasha’s adoption.  Well Sunday evening we learned that one of my aunts has passed away.  It is such a bitter sweet time but she has been sick for so long and I know she is finally at peace and at home with God.  She will be truly missed but never forgotten.  Please keep her family and sisters in your thought and prayers in the coming days, weeks and months ahead because she will be truly missed.
