Your story makes me cry as I remember my trips to Russia for my daughter, Claire. She became mine 5 years ago on December 15. I totally understand your words about adoption being a faith journey; it definitely is. I also know what it feels like to have your church family at the airport. We arrived during Sunday School and about 20 people from our church (Mennonite Church of Normal) showed up and others were sorry to have missed it because they were teaching Sunday School! God bless you as you become a family! Mary Normal, IL Congratulations! Your story makes me cry as I remember my trips to Russia for my daughter, Claire. She became mine 5 years ago on December 15.
