Getting closer

It has been a long while since I have made an entry on the blog because we have been in a very long wait time.  Due to some issues with Brandon’s work situation and last minute documentation issues we have just been waiting for our dossier to be submitted to the SDA.  We were told the SDA was given our dossier on Wednesday this week!  This means that they have our request to adopt Vitaliy and we are waiting now for them to invite us to come to Ukraine to start our many appointments but most importantly for us, TO MEET OUR SON! 
We were told that there was some kind of issue with one of the documents but we don’t know the nature of the issue or how easy or difficult it would be to resolve.  We are asking for your prayers over whatever this issue is that it would NO longer be an issue. 

We were told that we could possibly travel as early as September 25^th.  Please continue to keep us all in your prayers.  The girls will start school the end of this month which means that in our absence they will have to be cared for by friends.  We don’t have solid plans yet for our girls or for our cats (minor detail on the cats) but we’d like to make sure that we have this all worked out soon so that we do not have to worry about two of our children as we go to be with our other child.  Please pray with us that these gets worked out soon, that the girls stay healthy physically and emotionally while we are gone.  This will be the longest separation we’ve ever had.  Pray that whoever cares for them will be blessed abundantly for their care and love for our family as we work to grow. 

Redline United brought another group of kids from the orphanage to the states in hopes of finding them forever families.  Right now, this adorable sibling pair are the only ones who haven’t had a family step up yet.  We wanted to feature them on this page and invite you to pray for them and maybe considering even being their family.  Ask us if you want more information on them.   Thank you for your support for our adoption and for pleading the case for orphans everywhere.
