YAHOO!!! There are sooooo many people in the states that know Christina and have prayed for this day. As for me, Christina touched my heart over 2 1/2 years ago when I first met her at Matveevka. Please give Christina a big hug from me, Paul and Alyona and tell her that we can't wait to see her.
I send my love to all of you . . .

Congratulations!! We adopted a girl from Matveevka in April. Her name is Alyona and she has an older sister, Anna, who is out of the orphanage but still visits and is friends with your Christina. We are so happy you have finally been able to make her part of your family. She is a wonderful girl! Tell her we said hi!

Praise God for completion of the adoption. We are so happy for your family. Thanks for sharing the pictures and your story of the journey. I have recently learned that the adoption process is an opportunity to walk out in faith as only God can place family's together and work out all of the details. Love you guys.
