Look out Russia, here we come!!!!! We just received the wonderful news that we have gotten our court date!!! We will be leaving for Russia on November 5th. Our court date is Nov. 11th, and we return home on December 4th!!!! We are crying tears of joy tonight while we try to get our visa's rolling along with getting our airline tickets. My head is spinning trying to remember all of the things that we need to get done. We would really like to thank all of you for your prayers and blessings in this long journey to our little girl. We cannot wait to share her photo after we have legally become her parents. Please keep watching our blog. We will be posting as much as possible from Russia. You can leave us comments and we will try to respond by email or phone. We will be using Skype to talk and video back and forth to the U.S. We are so excited that our prayers have been answered. Please continue to pray for us for safe travels, and also for an uneventful court hearing..
We will post again soon...

Petition To Court!!!!
Praise the Lord, we have just received our petition to court!!!!
When I opened email this morning, there it was......the document that
we have been waiting for ever so anxiously!!!
Receiving this document means that we are very close to bringing
Alyssa home. Once this document gets back to Russia, we will hopefully
receive our court date very soon!!! We are looking so forward to seeing
her again!!! We really loved our first trip, and we look forward to seeing
our facilitators, drivers and everyone else that has helped to make this such
a wonderful experience. The Russian people were so kind and helpful to us.
It will truly be bitter sweet when we do have to come home from the last trip.
Everyone that has been working on our behalf really love these children.
We look forward to spending time in Moscow and our region, and look forward to learning alot more about Russia. The time that we spend in Russia will always be such a great part of our adoption story. Russia will always be part of our lives and a part of the heart of our family. We are going to be so proud to say that we feel in love with a little girl from the wonderful country of Russia. And we will feel so proud to say that she is our little "princess".
Please keep our family in your prayers to get a quick court date, and also pray for the many other families that are waiting also for petitions, court dates, referrals, and regions...
Blessings..
