It's A Girl!!!


We are so excited to announce that we got "The Call" yesterday, July 7th, and surprise of all surprises, we have the most beautiful little girl waiting for us! The reason it was such a surprise is because our agency had informed all Russia waiting families at the beginning of the year that it was unlikely that anyone would receive a referral for a girl under the age of 3. Apparantly, there are a large number of requests for girls, and the number of adoptions by Russian nationals has increased. So, we feel extra blessed! She is 18 months old, blonde and blue-eyed, and soon to be very spoiled! We get to see her in just 2 short weeks. There really is a light at the end of the paperwork tunnel!
