We are so happy to be on the ground and not in an airport! We are at the Vlad Inn in Vladivostok, Russia. It is a beautiful day. We just had a walk to the little grocery/market store and took in some fresh air with another couple who flew in from Moscow on the same flight as us, and will be going with us tomorrow (Monday) to the Ministry of Education to request permission to visit the children in the orphanages. After that we plan to visit them for the first time. We are all tired out from the 30+ hours of traveling, but very excited and relieved to be here. I feel like Satan does not want us to adopt these children, but the Lord has triumphed every step of the way (of course!) and smoothed out every rough spot. Our plane from Atlanta had mechanical problems having to do with the air pressure, but they landed in New York and determined that we should take another plane, which we did. That potential danger averted, we landed late in Moscow and after making contact with the agency and waiting a couple of hours, finally determined that we must get a taxi to the next airport (still in Moscow) to be able to make our flight to Vladivostok in time. We made it and here we are!
We are missing the children at home tremendously. Hopefully, they miss us a little bit, too, just not too much!

Tony & Dawn,
We are so glad you made there safely. We'll be praying that everything goes smoothly and you will get to see the kids very soon.
Brent & Marcie
Great to hear the updates. Praying for you both and thinking about you and the kids a lot.
All is well here - the girls are having a great time. (I hear them talking and giggling while trying to go to sleep right now.) :)
I tried to email you but it kept bouncing back. Hopefully you recieved it now.
Look forward to hearing more updates.
Tina (for all of us)
