adoption prayer Friday #7 May 17, 2007


3 years ago we received information about a little girl in Russia who was going to be turning 2. We accepted this referral, and agreed to travel 1/2 way around the world to meet her.


1 year ago we were with Anya in Russia. We purchased gifts and planned a party for her 4th birthday, although we were not with her on her day, I am sure she felt like a special princess! We were so hopeful that she would be with us celebrating her 5th birthday.

This past week was a quiet one. We were able to make contact with the local Russian family who is helping us. We received a very nice email from them, expressing their commitment to continue to do whatever they can to help us bring Anya home.


The Judge has been on a 2 week vacation. She returns next week. Our lawyer will try (again) to make an appointment with her and submit our documents in request for a court date. The past 3 times this has happened, it has only yielded more paperwork, however God does work wonders!


We are feeling the stress and exhaustion of the past 3 years.


THANK YOU!

This week, we will again be fasting and praying on Friday with the hopes that a miracle happens in the upcoming week. Thank you for supporting us and not questioning our intensity of our drive to bring Anya home. We know you are all as tired as we are praying for this.

Love,
Marty and Kathy
