Happy family. Mama, Papa, Anastasiya. We went to the orphanage yeaterday to meet our little princess and today to spend time with her. When we arrived at the orphanage we first met with the director, doctor, teacher, inspector and others. We were given information about Ana and her background. She was anxiously waiting in another area to meet us once we received the information. When they brought her into the room there was tremendous emotion, she instantly melting Russ & I's hearts. There was lots of tears of joy as she instantly hugged Mama and climbed right up on my lap when I sat down. She is so precious, beyond words and much more than we could have ever imagined. She is a litle angel, sweet, shy, incredibly precious, with innocence, deep blue eyes that sparkle with love and a smile that lights up her face and will wobble your knees. God is so amazing to have chosen such a precious little girl for us. We are so blessed!!! We can't wait for the rest of the family to meet her, we are sure they will love her as much as we do. She has stole our hearts. We told her today that her sister Heather loved her wanted her to come and see her and couldn't wait to hug her. She put her hand over her huge smile and giggled all over as she said yes, yes, yes! This little girl is so full of love and affection. She had much fun taking pictures of her friends and downloading them on the computer. We will attach a few below. There are some very precious children here waiting to be loved by a forever family. A few will be traveling with the next hosting program and will bless any family fortunate enough to have them.
We had to come to an internet cafe to post this we do not have our Internet service working yet so I am not sure when I can post again.
Please continue to pray for us tomorrow we will again spen a few hours at the orphanage then the following day, Monday, the orphanage director will be asking Anastasiya if she wants us to adopt her. If she has yes, she will have to write a letter stating her desire to be adopted. Then the next round of paperwork will begin, so we can move forward toward securing a court date.
