We have received a referral!

Dear Friends,

Much time has past since our last update. We have waited together so long but we do have a new update to share. On Wed., January 2nd, we received a call from our family coordinator with a referral for a little girl! Steve and I both cried as she told us about this little one. She is 15 months old and has such a sweet face, I think I am already in love!

There are some health/medical concerns that we must face, and after meeting with two International Adoption Specialists, we have decided to go and see her for ourselves. So, on February 4th we will be boarding a plane to Moscow. From there, an overnight train to Voronezh, where we will meet with the Minister of Education for that region. The next day we will get to meet her and the specialists have given me a list of ways to check her cognitive and motor skills as we play with her and get to know her.

God has a plan for her life and for ours too. We believe that He will reveal this plan to us. So, we are asking you to please pray that we will have the wisdom, discernment and peace concerning this HUGE decision.

We love each of you and I cannot tell you how blessed we are by your love and support. God is so good!

Karen
