Adoption Update

We have finally received our first orphan court date in Latvia. We are so excited though we will have to be in Latvia longer than we anticipated. Our first court appearance is July 13th and the second is July 27th. If all goes well ( and we are expecting that it will), we will be bringing Raimonds home on July 29th. Raimonds will be living with us once we have made our first court appearance. We are so very excited to see him again.
Hotel costs were a big concern, but we were given the name of a Christian lady who has a real heart for orphans and she enjoys helping those coming for adoption to find places to stay. We were told to expect at least $100 - 150/night. With 17 nights that was really going to add up fast - then food costs. This lady has found us an apartment for about $600 for the entire time! It has a kitchen and a food market close by. She is still checking on other options.
This is the time when the rest of the fees come due and of course our travel expenses. We have raised just enough money so far - thanks to all of you who have given so generously. If you would still like to make a contribution it is not too late!!!! Any gift would be greatly appreciated.
