Welcome
Dear Friends and Family,
We have decided to start a blog to keep you informed and also to help us remember the wonderful journey we are on. As of today we are set to take our first trip to Moscow, Russia on February 23rd. We accepted the referral of a two year old girl and have no other information about her.We need your prayers and your support means everything to us!
Love Brad and Maureen

Let the Mystery Continue
Today was a very long day. We woke up at 7:30 very excited for our 10:00 appointment at the Department of Family Services. As we we're getting ready we looked out the window and it was like a blizzard. For the about 10 minutes we thought we weren't going to make it to our appointment with such bad weather, but it only lasted for 10 minutes and then the sun came out. We got to our appointment on time but with 4 other families waiting they were running late. Oh did I mention they were French. We didn't get out of the Department of Family Services until 11:30 and with visiting hours ending at 12:00 there was little time. After a 25 minute ride to the Baby Home we had to wait for her to finish eating lunch. While she was eating lunch we met with the director of the Baby Home. After she oops I mean Iraina finished lunch she met us in the director's office. I wish you could have seen her. Iraina came walking in with a smile that lit up the room. She was very friendly and had no problems sitting on Maureen's lap. With little time to see her we quickly went to the play room. Sorry but because of the lack of time we got few pictures and not very good ones. Because we were cutting in to her nap time Iraina became quickly cranky and had to go to bed. Sorry to disappoint you with the lack of pictures. We promise we'll make it up to you tomorrow.

I am so happy things went fairly well, all obstacles considered. She looks like a pretty little girl who will fit right into your family.
Enjoy your visit tomorrow! I hope tomorrow's conditionsare more conducive to a longer visit with Iraina. (Ask her when she wants to make a playdate with Jimmy and Donovan at Chuck E Cheese. :) )
I just checked the meaning of Iraina. It means peace. That seems just about perfect!
Kara said, Iraina is a beauty. Can't wait to see more pictures.
