December 6-12, 2015
We are in a waiting period right now. Being that it's the Christmas season I'm listening to Christmas music - Peter Hollens and Pentatonix. I'm reminded how Advent is about waiting. After Jesus' birth we read about Simeon and Anna and how they waited for the Saviour. Our waiting (for anyone to object to our adoption) will be over on Monday.
On Tuesday we will be travelling 3 1/2 hours to the village where the kids were born to get new birth certificates. On Wednesday we will be able to have the kids stay with us. We will need to get new passports for them and they will need criminal record checks. We hope to complete those steps next week so that we can travel to Kiev. In Kiev the Canadian Embassy will need to give the final approvals before we can head home to Winnipeg:)
We covet your continued prayers that these last steps will move quickly and that we will be able celebrate Christmas with all 6 family members in Winnipeg.
