Posts of our first trip to follow soon.

Poor Anya is terrified about being adopted. She has seen the news footage over and over of the boy that was sent back to Russia after he was adopted and brought to the States. They played up the terrible things he that were done to him (if any at all) and showed it over and over on TV. She has also asked, at an earlier time, for the care givers to find her mother. Please read the journal entries (on 1st Trip News tab) for all the details and for our plan of action.

You can pray for:
1. Her fears to subside
2. The three care givers to cooperate with us and the agencies in speaking well of adoption and for them to show her the photos we left over and over
3. For her to know I do not plan to replace her mother, but want to be like another care giver that loves her very much
4. For her to want to be adopted by us. She does like us very much, but is frozen in fear. We ask that when Matt comes the bond between them will be reawakened and that she will be willing to go
5. That when she talks to the judge and he asks her if she want to be adopted (through a series of questions like, "Do you want to go and play at Matt's house?") she will be calm, positive and determined to go
