Got a request from our family coordinator at the adoption agency for another document. She said the judge is requesting it. It's an easy document to obtain but it got me so excited to think that the judge was actually looking at our paperwork! I'm looking of pics of "A" & i think i'm ready to go to Siberia! I think i'm ready to do the 3 plane rides & go into action with keeping thomas occupied. I think i'm ready for the cold...all of asudden i feel very brave. I'm ready to face the challenges and maybe even crack a smile. Well lets not carried away! It was hard to smile during transport as i was always terrified of the city traffic & no lane thing - oh, & the no seatbelt thing didn't set well with me either. I was talking to my brother's doctor who turned out to be from Moscow...she is a pretty woman. I noticed while in Russia that people are most attractive & dressed so nice. The women wear stylish boots, jackets, hats & scarves...the men are dressed up & i did not see people wearing jeans & sneakers. People are walking everywhere there & they don't have the custom of eye contact & a polite hello when you're walking head on with someone, like we have here. Thomas is asleep in the car & his granparents are going to spend some time with him today & that means i can go & fed ex the last of the documents out...oh, i didn't mention...i missed the delivery of our 3 last documents that were apostilled in Sacramento - the delivery guy brought them to the post office so i have to go to the post office & pick them up. It's amazing how important people become to you when they're holding your precious documents. I think i've said before, i love the mail man, the fed ex man, the guy in Sacramento who knows us & certifies our documents, & the man from immigration who got me what i needed. Depending on people can make you feel vulnerable but we all have to do it & again..that's why i think it's important that we all try to help each other out..sooner or later we're all going to need something from someone else.

Jeanette,
So glad you are getting excited to go back to Siberia!!! :) Amazing how God works in our desires. And realizing that you are dependent on so many people in this process - just like A will be dependent on the Dini's. God is the ultimate one to be dependent on, and you are showing that you and Greg are over and over and over. Thanks for sharing.
btw - people in Moscow are not like the rest of the country, at least most of the country towns. There people aren't dressed up so nice and stylish. Jeans and sneakers go a long way elsewhere. Just a reminder that the little bit you may have seen in the city, doesn't reflect the lack of items elsewhere in the country.
You know me - trying to spread the needs in Russia ;)
-Lori
