The Waiting Game...

I've had some people ask for an update on Oksana but unfortunately I don't have one. I did email our faciliator and he only told me that her surgery was planned, not urgent, and successful. I don't know how often he is at the orphanage, but I do know that he has a family coming next week to get their daughter so hopefully I will get an update around the beginning of April.

We are also waiting on word about our marriage license. There seems to be some confusion about the way Missouri does theirs and we are trying to find out if it will be accepted in Oksana's country. We're not sure what we will do if they don't like it but we will figure something out. In the mean time we are still waiting on our approval from immigration and we got a whole stack of documents apostilled. Here they are looking all official :):



We got an encouraging phone call today from Larry's mom. My inlaws own an auto body shop. My mom decided to bring baked goods to sell to customers, as well as the staff, to raise more money. Today a man who owns another shop that they do business with came in and heard about Oksana. They found out that he has a child with a disability and gave $100 towards our adoption! We are amazed by the ways that God is providing for us! The closer we get the more excited we get. It won't be long now!
