We were assigned to the Krasnodar Region in Russia. Krasnodar was originally named Ekaterinodar after Catherine the great which meant "Catherine's Gift". After the Russian revolution in 1917 the name was changed to Krasnodar which means "beautiful gift". I found this to be a sweet reminder and quite encouraging. Sasha is a beautiful gift that God created in His own image. A child He created knowing that we would be her parents.

Travel Dates

This morning we received our travel dates.  We leave KS on Saturday, 3/13 and return on 3/20.  We will be meeting with the DOE and then going to see Alexandra for the first time on 3/16.  Our agency has instructed us to get a 90 day visa so we can make both trips on the same Visa.  That means if all goes well on the first trip we could be home with her in less than 90 days.  Praying for that but trying not to build false expectations either.  Lots to do in only a couple of weeks.  I know it will fly by but right now it can't get her fast enough.
