Well I started this morning at 5:00 am taking the Kniphfer's to the airport. They were excited, nervous, and apprehensive all rolled in to one family package. It seems like a year ago the Gully's felt the same emotions. But hey, you just don't know what to expect when you are on a God adventure. Here is the how today has gone.
5:00 am Wake up call
5:30 am Take the Kniphfer's to the airport
6:00 am Jesse and Ron have breakfast at IHOP
6:15 am Text message from the girls stating they want to come home
6:27 am Phone call girls, they are tired, beaten down and homesick
6:45 am Call to travel agent to book flights
8:17 am On the home phone with travel agent and Lynn on the cell phone
9:30 am Flights confirmed for Thursday July 5th
10:07am text from Lynn to call her
10:09 am On the phone, " we are going to a woman's house to get a piece of paper"
10:27 am Ok so the woman did not have the "the piece of paper it is at some office"
10:32 am text message from Lynn "Dennis just called the office, they have it"
10:44 am The girls are not coming home, "the piece of paper" is a really good thing
You just can't explain it till you live it! The latest news for the Gully's in the pursuit of bringing Christina into our family is this: We now believe Christina's biological mother never registered her (in English, applied for a birth certificate)and the orphanage did. In a weird twist this effectively makes the orphanages her mother and we are now told an extra court appearance is not required. This means I may be headed back to Ukraine soon for the adoption hearing.
Wow this is better than the Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags.
Sincerely,
Cautiously Optimistic (again) Ron.

What a testimony to God's amazine work in the little details of our lives, in spite of our expectations. Persevere...in His name. We will all continue to hope for the day of arrival at the airport. God is good. God is in control. Love Valerie Hall
