Interesting week...but decorating helps! :)

Ana's Nursery Fabric
Some of you may have seen the articles posted on multiple major news networks about Russia suspending all adoptions to the US.  On Monday our social worker told us to postpone our home study because of all of this.  After spending a very stressful Monday wondering what lie ahead, we found out that it was untrue.  Tania Griasnow, the Russia Program Coordinator from Carolina Adoption Services told us to proceed "without delay!" on Ana's adoption process. :)  O.K. by me!  All three regions (including the region where Mikhail is from) that CAS is currently working with are running smoothly and processing adoptions consistently.  In fact, two families with CAS are traveling for their court dates as we speak.  It sure was a thrill to hear all of that!  As soon as I can get my incredibly handsome IT guy to help me figure out how, I will post a map of the three possible regions it sounds like Ana may come from.

Such a good reminder that it's so silly to pretend like we are in control of this whole thing.  God alone can orchestrate such a complicated process to bring our child home from half way across the planet.  "The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes."  Proverbs 21:1

In the meantime, all this week's uneasiness has been made better by day dreaming about Ana's nursery...  fabric arrived last week, paint to come on Thursday. Ahhhhhh......  nesting is good for a Mama's soul. :)
