This morning, we finally applied for Mikaela’s passport! We are very, very excited to have this step behind us, for that was the piece that we needed in order to be able to move forward with the other things necessary to take her back home with us. Yulia is still quite hopeful that we will be back home in time for July 4, and we are praying hard for that right now. We don’t yet know exactly what God’s plans are for us over the next week-and-a-half or so, but we are content to follow Him. Having Mikaela with us is a dream come true, and we praise Him for completing her adoption. Now we just have to pray and to wait for Him to take us home again. What a blessed homecoming that will be!
In lieu of a longer update, here are some pictures of Mikaela’s first day with her family. She fit right in with her brother and sister, and she did fantastically well overnight last night. It feels so good to have our family all in one place again!
