YAHOO, can you hear us hollaring from here? Dariya's passport is in and will be ready for us to pick up around 9:30 tomorrow morning. We will pick up the passport and go back to the orphanage to break her out.
Her birth father is going to come and say goodbye, hoping her birth mother shows up too.
We will be in the capital city just after noon. We are making arrangements for our flights. Please pray there is a great flight into KC on Wednesday at a decent time so the kids can meet us at the airport.
We won't be able to blog until tomorrow night our time, afternoon in the U.S. (sorry Renee you will have to enjoy your coffee and read someone else's blog for the morning LOL)
Thank you for all the prayers, comments and support while we have been here it truly makes all the difference.
As we were dropping Dariya off (for the last time) one little 3 year old in her groupa broke down crying and was saying in Russian, "I want a Mama and Papa". You know I left there crying. Unfortunately, his mother is very ill but hasn't released him to be adopted so he is stuck there. Also, the little 18 month old boy that took such a liking to Jason when we first arrived now greets us with hugs and kisses and gives us more before we leave for the day.
How can I be so joyous and so sad all at once? Please pray for these children with me.

I heard your cheers of joys all the way in California. So excited for you that you get to break her out in the earl afternoon. Oh how my heart breaks for those other little ones. We really don't have any idea how blessed we are to have families.
YAY!!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU!
I cant believe your almost done! Almost to the point where you just get to watch her blossom at home, and all the new things she will learn. Arina amazes me at how smart she is, and how quickly she picks things up.
We didnt see a lot of other kids, and i guess thats good in a way since we dont have to leave kids there!
I think I will be on my knees thanking God in Heaven for sending you to get Dariya--so I will skip the blog and coffee and thank Jesus for you and your wonderful heart... Friend, YOU ARE ALMOST HOME WITH YOUR SWEET GIRL!!! Can you believe it?!?! I completely understand about the happiness and sadness thing.. well, not completely but I have been a puddle these last few days then I will read some awesome news (like this) on a blog and cheer for my wonderful friends... EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER, ANYONE? Love you, Love your sweet girl...lifting you up friend, always...
Got my hands over my ears the noise is so loud.... Yeah Yeah Yeah!!
Congratulations! Gotcha Day tomorrow!
So thankful her passport is ready! Praying daily for these precious children. You know how much I want to change the life of one of these precious souls. It will happen, just being patient.
Awesome news so glad you get Dariya tomorrow.Hope you get a flight out soon. I know Aidan and Alayna will be glad to have you guys home. Wonderful that her passport will be ready tomorrow. Happy for you guys. Love ya xx
Yay! I am soooo happy for your. What a wonderful day you will have! I can’t wait to see the pictures of her gotcha day and of your family together for the first time next week. I have loved reading all of your posts. I am thrilled for you that you were able to meet her birth father. That is wonderful. I so wish we had a little bit of info for Sophia. We have no family history for her and I know she will want it someday. What a treasure that you have the history and have actually met one of her birth parents. God is good! I can’t believe you will be back next week. Amazing. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Love you!
I surfed over today from Sarah Ely's blog. My daughter was born 4 months after yours with surprise Ds. And our husbands have the same profession - I was drawn into your story immediately. :)
Congratulations on bringing Dariya home! She's beautiful and y'all look so happy! I'll keep your family's homecoming trip in my prayers this week - God bless you!
