Russia or Bust!!!
OK!! Huh-rah-SHOW!! A miracle occured and on an over-booked flight with Aeroflot, they accepted last night's tickets for the same fare!! Hooray!! We are on our way to Moscow!! This is great news, and so Andre, who is the Moscow man working with the agency, will meet us in the morning when we arrive. Olga said he will be holding up a sign with my name on it, only she wasn't sure if he knew how to spell my name correctly.......so just go with any man holding a sign, well, OK then!! How could this trip get anymore interesting???? We are extremely relieved to know we are continuing our travels instead of going home and post-poning the trip. The only catch now is that there are no available flights (showing on U.S. computers) until Saturday, and as we said before, that does not give us enough time with the boys. So, for sure we will make it to Moscow, and we have no idea as to when we shall arrive in Magadan, but God has a way and a plan. I am just providing the fuel for the vehicle, but He is doing the driving!! Olga, our agency director said we will just need to make accommodations for us to stay longer into next week, if that is what is required for us to see the boys. We will just have to return a few days later, and our jobs will just have to understand!! The kids will be disappointed as they are anxious for us to return home.....and sorry doggies...(Bella and Kaiser our Shetland Sheepdogs) will be sad to stay a few more days in the kennel!! So....we are off to Moscow, and then unknown from there!!

We have been praying SO HARD for you all day today; glad to hear that you are on your way to Moscow and know that you will make it on to Magadan to see the boys. Andrei in Moscow is terrfic; trust me, he will know who you are :o) Your jobs (and kids, and dogs) all understand that this is a God thing that cannot be controlled by human wishes!!! We can't wait to hear how the meeting went with the boys....

We found your blog through another one that we get updates from, and prayed for you this a.m. in family devotions. We adopted a daughter (having 3 bios already) from Khabarovsk (Siberia as well) in 2005, and well we remember some of the adventures we had trying to get there as well! ;-) But it all worked out . . . If while you are in Moscow and you need anything, please do check into Peace Travel. They are THE BEST--http://www.go-russia.com/adoption.htm and specialize in helping adoptive parents. We don't know what we would have done without Andrei when some complications arose in Moscow! We called him and he got everything taken care of that he could fix for us, and gave us a sympathetic ear yet too! Tell him Paul and Hope Anne sent you if you talk to him.
Best wishes, and keep us posted as you can!
