Court Update

1st and foremost we want to thank everyone for their prayers and kind words over the past few days. We got word on Thursday from our agency that the court hearing was successful however Anna will still need to be put back on the Russian registry for another 6 months. In Russian adoptions anytime a bio family member comes to the orphanage, asks about a child or shows interest in a specific child the law says that the child needs to be reassigned to the registry for at least 6 months. At this time we as a family feel that God has called us to Anna and have agreed to wait out the 6 months. 6 months is nothing compared to the lifetime we hope to share with her. If all goes as planned we will be traveling to Russia April/May 2010.



In Him,

Jamie, Jill, Tristan and Austin Verduin
