Well, it was another busy week in preparation and a crazy weekend of selling, but everyone survived, and we are pleased to announce that the Lord has provided another huge blessing. We raised $1362! God never ceases to amaze at his continued provision for Aleksandr. The 4 boys were huge helpers, and a big thank you to all our family and friends who lovingly donated to help Aleksandr. We also received another $2000 in donations, making one more HUGE step closer to having the adoption fully funded! Just a little over $3400 to go! Below you'll find a short bee's-eye view of our yard sale.
On another note, we are still one document short with only 2 1/2 weeks until we are scheduled to leave. The short version of the story is the State of California is refusing to alter the wording on one of their documents to satisfy the Krasnoyarsk Court. They are giving us 2 different documents with slight variations, but we are unsure if either of them are going to work. We will hopefully receive confirmation early this week as to the nature of these documents and whether or not they are going to work. If we can't get the documents in time, we will lose our court date and have to postpone. This will cause a number of our other documents to expire and have to be redone at substantial cost and delay. Oh yeah, and a little boy will have to spend more time in the orphanage without a family. We have exhausted our options and are nearly out of time. We have not purchased visas or plane tickets, nor finalized arrangements for our 4 boys while we are away for a month. Please keep us in your prayers over the next couple of days, and I will update as soon as I have more news. Thanks for your continued interest and support of Aleksandr during this time!
