Many of you are aware that my daughter and her husband are adopting 2 beautiful children from Russia. ...They went over and saw them Dec. 28th....They are bio..brother/sister who were abandoned by their Mother. No Father involved...and the State took them last June... ALL papers were signed, ect......but, now, Russia is in a turmoil.........Thank goodness, she is with the Largest American Russian Adoption Agency. :) Too much to explain..but, we are lucky that they got to travel on their first trip....The owner of their agency is in Russia now..They have 11 couples..like Adriane, who have been to Russia, saw their children, ect... The owner is there demanding that these 11 couples get their courtdate, SOON. ..I feel sorry for all the many other American couples who are waiting for their first trip to see their children. Money already paid up front... There are 500,000 Russian children in orphanages..waiting for someone to come and get them.. :eek: Thank goodness the doctor in Adriane's orphanage..e-mails her..saying they are well, gaining weight, ect.......It's been 6 weeks since Adriane and her hubby played with them I saw the video..They are sooo cute and smart. Andrey is age 3 and Kate age 17 months.....Please pray that Russia gets their act together and let these children come home to us and the MANY other children, who have had a referral to American couples. This all happened after Adriane saw her children. Before, last year, the American couples were going back for their children ..2 weeks later. :) It was only after her visit that Russia decided to slow things down. about America adopting. ...but, I know, that they will have a courtdate soon... :) :) but, your prayers may bring them REALLY soon.. :) I was not to post a picture of them..but I did to Mary and Ann (they know how cute they are.. :p Bonnie
 
Dear Bonnie,
I hope you and they are all united in short order. Our prayers are with you!
 
You Have My Prayers Bonnie!!!

You Have My Prayers Bonnie!!!

I can imagine the frustration and anticipation of getting those beautiful babies over here and into their new home and life. I pray for the expediency of the adoption and for the safe return of your family and grandbabies....Take Care, Harrybaby666 :D :D :D
 
Seems sad that any system would delay homes for orphans. I will say some prayers that God will intervene, get these folks off their butts and get those babies home.
Please keep us posted.
 
Bonnie,
You know my thoughts. I continue to keep Kate and Andrey in my prayers. I'm confident that they will be here soon, and the long wait will be forgotten in the happiness you gain.
 
red tape and politics - we never know how much there is until we get involved with one of the agencies.

Bonnie, you all have my support in any way I can and if prayers can help, you certainly have mine. Those are such beautiful children. Hope you will soon be able to show them all round. Hang in, Grannie
 
It is the Russian way

It is the Russian way

Bonnie,
You must be very patient. Just when you think you are getting close,
something else will come up. There is a Russian prayer for children that doesn't translate well in to English, but my wife assure me she is repeating
tonight for your children.

Bonnie, my sweet birthday twin. My prayers are with you and your daughter & her husband. I pray that the children will get to come home (to America) real soon.
 
Thank you for your prayers

They WORKED.. :) :) My daughter had a call today..They want them to leave a week from tomorrow. (26th)...2 other couples who have been waiting (the same agency) ) got their call, too...... My daughter and hubby will fly out of JFK at 5P.M. for Moscow..arrive 8 hours ahead of America..then board an eleven hour train ride to Voronezh....where they will spend 2 days...They will have a lady going with them from her agency in Moscow on the train..There is a female doctor who will meet them again (She was with them on first trip and speaks very good English) She has been wonderful..e-mailing my daughter with updates on my Grandchildren) :) :) Both doing well... :) Then, they will board the train back to Moscow. They will stay at the Marriott...in Moscow...for 2 more days to go to court to finalize the children's adoption.( The Mariot) is all English speaking staff, ect. american food.and leave there on Sat. a.m. 3:30 a.m. our time. :eek: 11 a.m their time. :eek: and arrive back into Atlanta at 8 P.M. our time Sat. night...Only, my son, will be there to pick them up with 2 carseats......The family will give them 2 days alone..to bond, ect....I may have to go down and peek thru the window. :p Many thanks again..and still pray for many other Americans waiting to go back for their children. :) Bonnie

Congrats Bonnie!

This is my imitation of you the first time you get to hold them: :D :D :D
 
I am so glad that God decided to answer these prayers in the affirmative. I know he always answers but, for some reason, the answer is not always yes. This is a great yes time.
Be sure and post pictures when you get them and I will continue to pray and send hugs and good wishes your way.
 
Many congratulations Bonnie. I'm happy their long journey is almost over.
 
Yes!!!

Yes!!!

I'm so grateful and very happy for you. I know you will feel better when you are able to smother them in hugs, but this is good news for now. Hugs. Janet
 
Oh, Bonnie! I just read this thread and am so pleased reading the latest posts. I know how your whole family has been waiting for this time to arrive and pray that all goes smoothly now. How good it will feel when you can finally give them that first little hug!
