We've Been Accepted!!!

We were accepted to the Russia program this afternoon, so it's official: we are 'paper pregnant'!!! We were able to share the news with many friends today and are so excited to finally be able to include everyone on this journey! We hope you will continue to check back on our progress. Our orientation is on Tuesday at 11:00, so we have a lot to do between now and then. Our coordinator gave us a bunch of 'homework' assignments to complete prior to Tuesday so that we are prepared. Once orientation is done, the first few steps will be to begin the required 10 hours of training, schedule our home study and apply for CIS approval. Then we will be able to start applying for grants and compile our dossier. Your prayers at this time would be greatly appreciated. We have a mountain of paperwork to collect and so much yet to learn about this whole process. We are so excited to have you along with us on this incredible journey. Thank you for all of the support and encouragement we've already received! It's hard to believe that by this time next year, we will be welcoming home our new baby, "HOPE"!!
