It's official..... We have a Daughter!!!!
We had our court hearing today at 10:30 am. It felt like a long process. We had a small glitch with one document that could have held up the decision until Wednesday, but with the help of our Facilitator, she corrected the error and we were officially told today at 1:00 pm that Alyssa Marie is our little girl!!!!!
The picture above is of us outside of the court building in Krasnoyarsk. It is really cold and snowy here, and we are more than ready to come back to warm Tennessee!!!
We had went and visited with Alyssa yesterday, and she has grown just a little bit. She was a little bit shy, but warmed right up to her daddy when he brought out a snack!!! We will be visiting the orphange tomorrow, and hope to share some more news with you. We will not be posting a picture of her until the 10 day wait is over, which will be on Saturday Nov. 22nd.
We would like to thank everyone for their many prayers. We could definitely feel them all the way around the world to us here in Krasnoyarsk.
Keep watching!!!!
Love Julie

I am so happy for you! Can't wait to see more pictures. It really looks cold there, the temperature here is around 50 and we are expecting rain. Give Alyssa hugs and kisses from all of us.

Congratulations, Sis and Wade! We are so happy for all three of you. Take care, keep warm, and kiss Alyssa for us! Love, Cheri, Harold, and boys
P.S. It is going to be a great Christmas with your little gift sent from Heaven! :-)
Congratulation folks! It has been a long time in coming but well worth the effort. Linda and I are very happy for the both of you, or I should say the three of you.
Love Bill and Linda
