The log jam is moving...Heading to Austin Tomorrow

We now have a huge stack of papers to take to Austin tomorrow for apostilling. It seems things are finally moving...at least off of our desk :) I received a call from our agency caseworker today with another request from the judge. I took this as a good sign that someone is looking at our case!The judge requested a letter from Emily and J.Michael and asked each to write a paragraph stating how they feel about the adoption and what specific things they will do when their brother and sister come home. This was fun and a great opportunity for the kids to be able to participate in something "official" with our court documents. They wrote their letters and signed them then when headed off to see Carol our friend and notary who was so gracious to fit us in on short notice. Thanks again! So all papers but a few are left to complete and then we wait. It seems more likely that mid May would be our earliest possible date for travel but the Lord could will us there sooner. Once papers are apostilled they will be overnighted to our agency then sent over to Russia on Fri. We continue to pray for Andrew and Kathlena. At this time we have not received a response to our emails that we have sent but we are praying that they receive them.
