Time for Pictures--I Hope

Hi Everyone,
We have our papers in for Yana as of today. We rejoice in that. We go to court next Thursday, for Yana. We had a great break through about Marina last night. We know most of the story, and now we know that it will take a miracle. Marina was registered with the NAC, pray that they find those papers. Ukrainian people fear the law, the law is not serving them, they serve the law. Our American blood is going crazy with this philosophy. With every word we get about Marina, we are told, you can't say anything cause it is against the law. What does all this mean,
Rick's hair is getting whiter. Papa wants to bring his little girls home. He doesn't want to hear, "the law says" or "it is against our laws". Then they say...."We have laws to protect our Children".

Today we spent time with Yana and learning English. She is getting more bold in saying the words. She isn't as shy about mistakes. When she got tired of studing, she beat on Rick. She loves to beat on Rick. It has become her favorite pastime.

Continuing to pray for that miracle. I know our real struggle isn't with the inspector or the bureaucrat, and Daniel had a heck of time before learning that his answer was on the way the day he began praying. Can't find anything in the Scriptures on hair healing though, you may want to consult Grecian Forumula on that one.
Love & Blessings . .

Fran and Whitey,
Small steps, for sure (or, 3 steps forward and 9 backward, depending on the day...) Praying a lot for you ALL! (Even the people we don't know who are involved in your process.) Sounds like you are keeping great attitudes (a MUST!!!) and that with court next week, you are moving along with Yana. That's great news.

Just sent you 2 emails.
Take care,
Jean & co.

Congrats on getting your court date for Yana. That will be exciting! Don't stop praying for your miracle though. It's cool to see how God works.
Maybe Rick could pose as Father Frost with his new whiter hair!
Hang in there. We're all with you,
Laura, Rob and boys

A. Franny and U. Rick,
Just wanted to let you know that we are thinking about you. It has been great to read about your experience and hope and pray with you.
Remember, through the ups and downs, we are here. We can't wait to meet your girls.

We love you very much.
Gina, Rob, Lisa, Teresa, Laura and Tony

Fran and Rick,
We are so happy to hear of your court date with Yana. And look forward to seeing pictures of you with both of your girls! We are praying for you all as you ride this roller coaster called adoption. Remember, He is still in the miracle business! Trent told me this afternoon that he is a "prayer group leader" for his 6th grade homeroom and he has his class mates praying for your family.
Blessings to you all,
Robin D
