I just want to give a little update...
Recently, Rob and I have been re-evaluating some things within our adoption process. We have been praying for God's direction from this point on. We know God has called us to adopt a little girl. We know our destination is Russia. But we've been wondering if there a different route God wants to take us to get there. With all our hearts, we want to follow His plan to get to our little girl!
In the past few weeks, when I spend time in prayer, God seems to be drawing us to Moscow City. And, so this week we spoke with our adoption agency and made the decision to remove ourselves from Astrakhan and switch to the Moscow City region in Russia.
It's a crazy move, because we're right up there for Astrakhan, and all of our paperwork is submitted and completed for that region. But if our little girl is in Moscow, then that's where we're headed! Another thing that makes the decision non-logical is that the region is pretty much closed for the summer. The Dept of Education in Moscow is not even accepting dossiers right now. But, that's fine. We will re-do our paperwork now and get it sent to Moscow. Then when they re-group in the fall, we'll be ready.
Speaking logically, the decision to switch to Moscow City does not make any since at all. But, last Sunday our pastor at church said "God doesn't work within human logic." And, when I talked with my mom about things she said, "This whole adoption is not logical. But, logic is not what God is asking for."
Rob and I have prayed so much about this decision. We have an amazing peace. I pray we are moving in the direction God wants us to go. So we are resting in that knowledge. Please join us in prayer for our little girl. She needs her family!
To God be the Glory!

Angela, I am so excited that you are following God's leading in your life. God's plan is all laid out for you, if more of us would take the path that He is pushing(or pulling) us toward - what amazing things we would see Him doing. THere are many amazing things He will be dong for you and believe me - When He starts things moving for you - things will go so fast they will make your head spin! Blessings - Monica
That's wonderful how the Lord has led you to this change. I agree that not all things from God are logical by human standards. I pray for God's continued blessings to pour out on you and your family and daughter to be!
Wow! That is so neat to hear how God is directing you in this process. Tony Evans said in the Founder's Week message that was key for us, that the more illogical, in human terms, the request that God is asking us to do, the more you know that God is preparing to do a mighty work in your life. So glad that you both have such a peace about following God's leading. We are still praying for you and your little girl!
When you have your little girl from Moscow in your arms you'll look back and see His plan so clearly! For now, I am so proud that you are following His will!
