we have our son!!!

sorry it took longer to post we have a very active 4 year old. We had a good party, cake,juice,fruit. Then we took some pictures,changed his clothes and we were off. He wasn't quite sure about going in the car,then going into the appartment, we tried taking a nap, he didn't want to,we had tears, I rocked him and he finally fell asleep, tried to put him down and he woke up.We didn't get much sleep.All in all we are doing great,we leave tomorrow at 12:00 to Almaty, pray the trip goes well,we have no idea what Ivan will do.Pray that he sleeps tonight, so we can sleep.

still waiting

yes we are still here in Michigan, still waiting on the Immigration Paper to be sent back to us with the right age of Ivan so we can leave. We are hoping and praying to recieve the paper sometime this week. Please pray for us, we need patiance, understanding, and that the papers do come soon. And for Ivan as we are gone from him for a long time, that he still will be excepting of us when we do come and get him. I'll keep you posted as soon as we hear anything new.

not so fast

Well here we are with no plans to travel. The paperwork we thought we had in hand still has a problem it says we are adopting a male child who is 0-36 months and Ivan is 4. So we need to send the paper back to the immigration office and have them change the age. So we are waiting again. Please pray for Ivan as he is waiting for us to come and get him!! we miss him very much and just want to have him home with us. We will update as soon as we have any more information.
