This week, we had to say goodbye to one of Alina's grandmothers. Glenda, Brandon's stepmom, passed away at the young age of 56. She was so excited about meeting Alina, and had apparently already picked up a couple items for her. We are so sad that she will not be able to meet Alina in person, but we are thankful that she was able to see pictures of her, and knew that she would be coming home soon.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Brandon's Dad, Lonnie, and with our extended family.

The goings on of a couple weaving their way through the process of international adoption - starting with deciding what country is the best match for them. And much like the Olympics of your childhood, Russia and China are the favorites.
