Hi, to all! So sorry I have not posted in such a long while but it has been difficult to know what to say! Things are moving right along with us bringing Nick home. Our dossier is sitting in Krasnoyarsk Russia as I write this. It is now just a matter of Russia issuing our invitation to travel to meet our son. I truly feel that will come next week!

It has been a difficult last few days for me because of the situation between Russia and Georgia. At any moment the situation could have escalated to a point of no return. My fear as well as the fear of all families who are waiting to bring their children home, has been that Russia would shut down adoptions. I was not even able to look at Nick’s pictures without crying. To see him standing there with the orphanage in the background, hanging on to the little radio we sent him was more than I could bear. His little angelic face was hard for me to look at. I just could not fathom the idea that he may never get to come home. I kept asking God why He would have brought us this far and then to not bring Nick home to his baby brother and all his family who are waiting for him with open arms. I had to come to grips with the fact that God has a plan in all of this and He is bigger than any of it. And as my friends, John and Jenni told me…God is bigger than the boogie man and he can surely handle bringing Nick home! They gave me the scripture Romans 8:28 and that is what I am standing on now.
God has given me a peace and I am believing Nick WILL be home soon.

I would like to ask everyone to please continue to pray for Nick and his home coming! What an exciting time it will be to see Elijah and Grace and Nick together! What is going to be so awesome is to see Nick and Elijah when they see each other for the first time since Elijah was 18 months old and Nick was four years old when they were separated at the orphanage. Wow! Just imagining that becoming a reality is overwhelming!!

God bless you all and thanks for being their for us.

In His Love,
Wendi
