...Norm & I woke up for the first time in Moscow, took showers, ate breakfast, and tried our best to mentally prepare to meet the precious little child who would become our son or daughter. Oh, and we also spent about 5 minutes trying to figure out how to answer the phone that was ringing incessantly. Turns out it was our doorbell that was ringing and not the phone. Yeah, the apartment manager wasn't impressed with us. HA!!!
I digress...
We had no information, didn't know gender, age, which Moscow region orphanage, nothing. With all of these unknowns, there is one thing we DID know with absolute certainity: That day's events and the child we were about to meet had all been perfectly orchestrated way before we set foot on Russian ground. There was no doubt in our minds that God has brought us half way around the world to meet the child that He had chosen for us, and for this child to meet the parents he/she deserved so much.
You've seen these before, but these pictures are of our first meeting with Ilya. It was an amazing, awesome day that I will never forget. We have been tremendously blessed since! If you'd like to relive the entire day, follow this link.
