Connecting

We are so very thankful for being able to keep in touch with Masha and Andrei while we go through all the preparation for adoption. Since they are like on the other side of the world and don't speak English, this could be a challenge one would think, but we've been blessed by having a contact here and a contact there to help us communicate with them. First we've been able to talk to them on the phone with the translator, Alla, who visits them at the orphanage. Second, there are other families that have started making their trips over for their adoptions who have been able to pass along messages, take a warmer coat, etc. For us, it is so important that they know that they have not been forgotten, that we are still here working and praying hard for them, and are 111% on board in fulfilling our promise to bring them home soon to their new family!
