Last night, we traveled home from Colorado. Because of a major miscommunication from Delta, we didn't get on our flight out of Denver, and had to stay in the airport an extra 7 hours to catch the next flight. We arrived in Florida at 5am, and got back to Gainesville at 7am. We slept for a few short hours and then started our day.
We had a lot to do to catch up on being gone, but everything suddenly changed when I saw the FedEx truck pull up in our driveway! He delivered our passports, complete with Russian adoption visas. Praise God!
I immediately scanned them and emailed them to our agency. We got the word that they looked good and we could book our tickets. I already had them on hold, so it was easy to finish processing them. We fly out of Gainesville on Monday at noon. Incredible! I've been holding my breath for quite awhile, waiting for the details to come together. And God answered each prayer with days to spare. Thank you Lord!
Here are some recent clear answers to prayer:
*We received the adoption visas we needed, including the letter of invitation from the Ministry of Education in Niznhy
*We had enough frequent flier miles for our tickets
*We were able to book tickets in and out of Gainesville, which will be an amazing blessing on our trip home with Sam
*Friends have continued to give generously toward our adoption expenses in the last several weeks
Thank you all for your specific prayers for our family. God is so good!

Praise God! We are so happy to hear that God has brought all the details together for your departure. He is faithful.
Simply amazing! So thrilled to hear all of the answers to prayer for your family in these special days. Wow, in a matter of days you will be on the journey of a lifetime. Can't wait to follow your trip and celebrate Sam's homecoming on your blog.
Peace and grace,
Melanie
Hooray!! Have been praying but unable to check in with you. So, so glad to know that all is set for your departure on Monday. Monday, friends!!
Can't wait to follow you to Russia and witness God's amazing handiwork in this most precious experience bringing your son home!
Praising God with you,
Shannon, Derick, and Asher
So exciting!!! I hope you have a very uneventful flight and everything goes well with bringing Sam home. I am so thankful for how God acted so clearly in helping my sister-in-law and her husband bring home their daughter last summer (it wasn't without some worries and stresses, but went far better than expected!). I pray that God's care for your family will be just as clear.
