Novosibirsk, Russia

Hello Everyone,

This is such an exciting and very busy time for our family. We are finally at the stage where all of our paper work for the adoption has been submitted to The Christian World Adoption Agency (CWA) again.
It has been sent on to our agent in Novosibirsk and will be presented to the Minister of Education. This has probably actually already happened. Some of you already know some of our story ,that we have been waiting for 2 years for this adoption to happen. Russia was closed to all adoptions for all of last year due to reconstructing of some government agencies. We, unfortunately, were caught up in this freeze and had to redo all of our documents. When Russia finally opened the region that we were assigned to, Rostov on Don, they had still not completed all of their compliance documents so we were asked if we would be willing to change regions so as to make things go faster with our adoption. We changed from Rostov on Don on the Black Sea to Siberia. Burrrrrrrrrr!. We are just happy to be moving forward.
Just to share how God works in spite of our plans, we were planning to adopt only one child but, after having all these months to sit and wait we felt God calling us to adopt two children. We are so thrilled that God would entrust these precious little ones to us. Please pray that we will be faithful to lead these children in the way that God would have us. Pray that they would accept Christ as their savior at an early age and that they would grow in the grace and knowledge of the Saviour.
We will keep you posted as we hear news.
Thanks for your prayers
Bob, Jo and Sarah Brunson
