More Goodbyes

Today we went to the U.S. Embassy and picked up Yana's visa! We are finished with all of the paperwork and ready to come home on Saturday! One of the men we spoke with today at the embassy lived in San Angelo, Texas for 6 months. Is that a small world or what?! He was so nice and expressed to us that he hasn't seen an adoption that only took 4 weeks! He asked, "How did that happen?" and then I responded, "God"! God receives all of the glory for this adoption. There are so many people to thank that God has used in mighty ways to help us make Yana a part of our family! Tonight we got to eat dinner with Alla who is a very special person in Yana's life and has become very special to both Bryan and me. I know God has used Alla to be a life line to so many of the children in the orphanage and she has been so important to Yana. We love you Alla! I think Yana seems to understand more that she will be leaving Ukraine and coming  to America soon. Please keep her in your prayers that she has peace about coming home with us and even an excitement to be in our family. We were able to Skype with the girls and we all miss them so much. Yana has talked so much about them today! She is ready to see them and I know they are ready to have her home! Here is a picture of Yana and Alla from tonight!
