More Pictures and a Answer to Prayer!

Now that I have your attention, I appologize for not posting last night. I ended up going to bed at 9am and waking up this morning at 7am. It felt so good to get 10 hours of sleep!

Yesterday was an amazing day and was full of nothing but answers to prayer. First of all, the Burmans meeting with the director was a huge success!! They received consent to adopt their little one from the institution! They are only allowed two visits a week because the director wants to supervise the visits. Amanda had giving Shelly some pictures of the kids from her work and Shelly said those pictures sealed the deal. People over here don't believe that these children can grow up and be members of society. It blew them all away seeing adults and teenagers with special needs going to the zoo and playing in the park! Praise the Lord!

Second, while we were at our morning visitation, I went to go get Cole while Amanda sat down with Rorie. While I was in the baby room, Amanda saw Shea with the physical therapist! She said Shea looked beautiful and happy was she also mentioned that Shea was speaking russian and I guess very well! Congrats momma! :) Also, the speech therapist's office is right next to the play area that we are allowed to use while we visit the children. She came out in the morning and saw Rorie and just about cried! She was talking to Rorie in russian and once we explained to her that we were mama and papa...she did start to cry! She then left and about a half hour later brought Masha up to play with Rorie and left us alone for almost 20 minutes to play with Masha!!! Does it get any better than this??

I need to close because we need to leave to go back to the social workers office to answer a few more questions then we get to go to the morning visit. We have decided to stay the 10 day waiting period. The Burmans are going to be going home and Shelly and her friend will be returning to us. If anyone would like to get something to us, Shelly said that you can mail it to her in Texas and she will bring it over. I know we are having her take a few things home and bring us back some baby bottles. If this is the case, email me or Amanda and we will let you know what to do.

Thank you all for your continued prayer and support! We love and miss all of you, but it is the greatest feeling in the world to wake up in the morning and know that we are going to be able to play with OUR KIDS! God Bless.
