Today we "met" our case manager (through e-mail of course).... Chad and I were talking last night that we should be getting in contact with someone specific that will be guiding us directly in this process and here she is! So far we have been lead by a whole team of people- Carol the adoption intake counselor, Michael who is in charge of our education/training classes, Priscilla who is in charge of our home study, Julie who did our orientation class, and of course, Pat, the kind soul in charge of finances that we have been bugging to death! And now Anya..... She will be our little guardian angel, I wanted to let you all know so that you could pray specifically for her, mostly for patience in working with us! Our prayer is that she treats our case with the enthusiasm of her first, but with the knowledge and expertise of her millionth.
Tomorrow we will sit down with her and talk about the ins and outs of Russia and what region we need to narrow it down to! Because (other than the home study) the documents we complete at this point will be geared specifically to a particular region. Please pray for us tomorrow afternoon as we decide on a region and that God's will is of course at the forefront of that decision!
We are making big steps and I am so glad you are here with us in this journey!
What an adventure ! So many steps....big and little, and many quite aggravating I'm sure.
