Adoption day 3 (We get Sofia!!!)
We got the full experience today. Changing, feeding, sleeping, laughing, crying. It was awesome! She is so much more expressive then last time we were here. She's not a lot bigger but she can turn over and she kicks her feet like crazy...potential drummer or soccer player in the works! And she laughs all the time now.
We are trying to figure out how to be parents again of a 6 month old. Totally forgot what to do...maybe we should have brushed up on some books? We got the bottle thing down after a little trial and error. All the directions for the formula are in Russian! How dare them not to accommodate the Americans that refuse to learn other peoples languages :)
That second picture is with Jeanie and Saule...two of the workers that made our adoption possible.
Pray that they get birth certificate papers in! They've been out but they assure us that they'll be in tomorrow. We added an extra $100 because that's what you do down here when things aren't going the way you want them to. It's cool...it's all worth it...just please pray because if this gets held up they could keep us for two more days...Surprise mom and dad!
It's 8pm here now and we are trying to stay up till 10pm. So far, so good.
Sofia is doing great. Thanks again to everyone that supported us with prayer and finances. You are a huge part of this and I hope you feel a special connection to these pictures and stories. We love you.

WOO HOO!!!!!!! This make my day!
We are so thrilled for you. She is precious. Someone at church asked me why I was walking. I told them. I got a real strange look. Oh well. We love you. See you soon.
Dan and Alyssa, I have closely following your journey(s) through your blog. I am so happy for all of you! I will continue to pray that the rest of your trip goes smoothly as well as for your travel home. Blessings, Anita T
