Fillmore family!
The ten day wait is up!
If we were in her country, we could go get her today. But we decided to wait another week and a half because next Monday-Wednesday, there's a holiday there that will prevent our coordinator from being allowed to go to the police station to take her name off the database. I think I explained this in a previous post, but I decided to just wait one more week after that and go with my friend, Katrina, who will be going to get her baby boy. It's too scary for either of us to travel alone and this way, our hub's can stay home and make money and take care our families for the first week and a half. They are planning to join us on the 27th in Moscow for the last few days, to help us travel home.
So that's the plan and we're sticking to it! Ha ha--it seems like it changes every day. There are too many options.
It's just amazing to know that we have another child. She may be really far away, but she's OURS!
God is so good.
So, So, So, excited for you.

ReplyDeleteSince you first saw Anya to now, I have prayed for and read about your journey. Anya holds my heart and I am thankful she is yours. God bless your final trip to bring her home.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear about the plane ride home. I can only imagine coming from never knowing anything but an orphanage in Russia, to getting on a plane to another country across the world. Talk about adventure!
