SUBMITTED!!!

Oh, yes, our paperwork has been submitted in Ruslana's country! This is HUGE, I tell you. We are praying that we leave U.S. soil before the end of November. This may be a miracle, but have you been watching this journey?!?! The whole thing has been a miracle!! AAAAAHHHHH!!!

I received several emails from people wishing to donate to our "orphanage donation" bag. A few people who have been to the orphanages in this country suggested some wonderful items- lotion, chapstick, black socks. And very clever- black socks because the floors are so dirty! Not that I want to think about how terrible that is, but a good solution if you must have one.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your prayers for our family! We are almost a family of 7- crazy!
In Him,
E

WONDERFUL! I've been checking your blog several times a day these past weeks to see how things are going. I'm so incredibly happy for you and for sweet Ruslana! Have you received word that she will be kept in the baby house until you come? I really do hope that she will! Now hoping for a travel date REALLY soon!

Praise God!!! If your suitcase isn't already stuffed, would you be willing to accept things to take? What about fuzzy, blanket sleepers, do you think they could use those? I've noticed on various blogs how crazy COLD it is there!

Q-tips and Band-aids are always a welcome item for the baby-homes. We took these things when we went back and visited our son's baby home last fall., Oh and small sized underwear!
