Letter to Christina and Kolya

The kids now know that we are coming to adopt them! We sent a letter, translated into Russian, and some pictures of Dan, Jake and me. Below is part of that letter:

Dear Christina and Kolya,

We are a family from America who has prayed for you for a long time. We have visited with you in the orphanage several times over the past couple of years. You might not remember us, so we include our picture. Our names are Leslie, Dan and Jake. We are the Edwards family. We are writing to you to tell you that we want you to be a part of our family. We love you and want to adopt you so that you can live with us in America.

In December we will be coming back to the orphanage to see both of you again and to do everything to adopt you and bring you to your new home. When we get to you we will show you a lot of pictures and tell you all about our family and where you will live. We can not wait until you are in our family, we love you.

We hope you are excited, we are so happy that you will be in our family. You will have a momma and daddy, three brothers and one sister and a dog. You will have grandparents too. All of us love you and want you to come to live with us.

We will see you very soon. Until we come, we will continue to pray for you.
