Bringing Home A.J.

Follow the process of our journey to Bring Home Andrew James. Please keep us in your prayers as we await our court date to make A.J. legally our son. Ancesters immigrated to America from the Ukraine about 100 years ago, so when we are able to bring home our little A.J., he will also provide a special link to our past.

Awaiting a court date

First of all Karen and I would like to thank everybody for their comments, prayers, and emails during this time. It is very comforting to us both. We wanted to respond to all of the children in Brandon's 3rd grade class who made comments on this blog. The food over here is a bit different than the US and they do have pizza here!!! They have an Uno's pizza that we have eaten at several times. They don't use nearly as much sauce on their pizza as so it's much drier. The main dishes here are Chicken Kiev ( chicken wrapped around cheese ), Borsch (cabbage and beet soup), and Pancakes. Mrs. Leigh says she misses everybody in the class soooo much!!! She hopes everyone is still doing their Math Superstars. She heard that alot of you have moved up to the purple ribbon level!! WAY TO GO!!! We will bring Andrew in to meet all of you when we get back.
We are still awaiting our court date. We have been told it possibly won't be until next Tuesday or Wednesday!!!! It has been frustrating because we are being told different stories. After our court date we will still have to wait two more weeks to come home. We are very anixious to bring Andrew home so he can melt all of your hearts as he has done to ours. Andrew is recognizing pictures of family. We got the priveledge of touring the orphanage today and got to see where Andrew has slept, eaten, and played for the past 3 years. Please help us pray for a rapid closure to our journey. We are getting very homesick!!
