Yesterday, good friends of ours, Jason and Heidi Batchelor, adopted a six year old little boy from Siberia. His name is Louis Dimitri Batchelor. They have been in Siberia for over a month, and after a roller coaster ride, they finally got the adoption finalized. I can't tell you how many hoops this family has had to jump through. Apparently, they don't make things go smoothly for Americans adopting Siberian children. But Jason and Heidi are extremely happy and so are we. They will not be able to leave the country with Dimitri until another ten days (another hoop), and Jason has to leave on Monday. So Heidi will be there with their daughter, Dinah until they are allowed to leave the country. The adoption was finalized yesterday with a judge, so it can't be reversed at this point. But we ask everyone to keep the Batchelor family in their prayers as they finish this process. Especially since they will be separated the last week or so.
Also, you can have your blog published into a book- it is a great way to "scrapbook" your lives without all the trouble of scrapbooking.
