Our countdown begins again! I am still not feeling better - I guess I will have to visit the doctor Monday morning :-( I MUST feel better before we leave to be united with our son!!! I can't wait to see his beautiful face and hold him and kiss him. Joe is so excited to finally hold him...and he is nervous too - about being in a place where you are completely dependent on oneor two other people. I am not nervous yet, but I will probably be when we are about to arrive. Until I see someone there to pick us up I am sure my heart will be in my chest. The last thing I want is to be sitting in the Almaty airport stranded (hey, I have heard stories about that too!). We are feeling more confident that things will be alright. I am sure it won't be smooth sailing, but Orson has told us that he made it abundantly clear to the staff there that he wants our journey to be smooth. I do believe he wants things to go well for us from here on out.
Joe and I have thought about Alexander often. We are both sad that he will remain in an orphange rather than have a chance to experience the love and security of a family. Every child deserves a family. It breaks our hearts. I pray that somehow things work themselves out and Alex is placed with a loving moma and papa. We informed Orson that we want to be notified should Alexander's paperwork ever be reconciled. We must look forward now.
We are flying out on Sunday, February 18th! Our countdown begins at 7 (hey Lauren, isn't that your lucky number?).

Dawn, I am so happy to see your blog back open. I was sad when it went private - I couldn't imagine what had happened. I haven't checked back in quite a while until today.
I am praying that you'll be on your way soon, soon, soon!!
Yeah...I am happy for you. My gosh..you are leaving soon. Holy Cow...did you think this day would ever come?? I am soooooooooooo excited. Love, Tam
OMG what great news to hear upon my arrival in Moscow.
SEVEN BABY!!!
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 !!!!!!! How wonderful! We, too, dream of being united with Marina and Leo some day. Maybe, just maybe.... even if it be years down the road, I'll get the blessing of being part of their lives somehow. But now I am so extremely blessed to be the proud Mama of Mateo and Natalia. You'll always have a place in your heart for Alexander, I know. BUT I can't wait for you to meet your son. 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 !!!!!!!
Cheers! The Great Adventure Awaits! Dinara and I will ready everyday.....we are with you & Joe!
I haven't been able to access your blog, but I'm so glad you're back open. I was wondering about you. It is so good to hear that you will be on your way in a week. How exciting!! I'm absolutely thrilled for you. Congratulations.
