Effective immediately, Braiden Roman Anders is officially our son!!! We are finally parents!!! Court went as well as expected. It took about a hour for the whole proceeding and then it was running around St. Petersburg like crazy trying to get his new birth certificate, passport and visa, so we can leave for Moscow tomorrow night. Everything looks to be going in order, and on schedule. Thank you for your prayers they were definitely felt. We have not eaten all day so we are going to go and get something to eat but will post more pictures of our visit this morning in a couple of hours.

PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW! What good news to wake up to this Monday morning. God has taught us all something during this experience. We pray the rest of the trip goes smoothly & you'll be HOME soon. We love you four so much. Great Grandpa&Grandma E.
I'm at work and thought I'd check the blog to see if you have updated since early this morning. I must've done something wrong this time as my original blog to you is not posted. Oh well no big suprise there really.
Anyway WOO-HOO!!!!!!! Our God is so good. He has given you the desire of your hearts...you are parents and your son is not only beautiful, but so very blessed to be a part of your lives. And so a new journey called "parenthood" begins. Can't wait until you all get home. My love to all four of you.
XOXOXOXO Gramma/Mom
