Well, we FedExed our last few dossier documents today, and now they go into Russian translation! After being translated, we will wait for THE referral!
Thanks to my sister and brother-in-law, Christen and Chris Layton, and my cousins, Kelly and Chad Scott, Warrior Dash MS was great! It was a cold, windy day to be crawling through wet mud and log-filled ponds, but they did it....every obstacle! So thankful for my family and friends who sponsored them! It's not too late to be a sponsor-just go to www.adopttogether.org/watkinsadopt
Adlee and I will be doing Warrior Dash AR together on May 12.
As I have been running, trying to gear myself up for this race, I have been listening to Sam's ipod. One of his favorite songs is "Tell Me Who I Am" by Jason Gray. I love this song, too. But this week, God gave me a new way to pray this song, and I would like to ask you to pray this along with me........
for this baby girl we will be adopting.......
Lord,
When she loses her way in the orphanage, and she forgets her name
Remind her who she is.
In the loneliest places
Show her what grace is.
Because she's Your beloved,
Can You help this baby girl believe it....
Tell her, every day, who she is to You
Who she is to You.
Tell her, lest she forget, who she is to You,
She belongs to YOU.
She's the one YOU love.....and that will be ENOUGH.
And we zealously wait for the day she will belong to us.

Another Step
Fingerprinting at the Memphis USCIS immigration offices went great today! Another step foward!
Thanks to all who have committed to be WARRIORS for Adoption! The MS Warriror Dash is this Saturday. My sister and her husband, Christen and Chris Layton, and my cousins, Kelly and Chad Scott, will be running! You can still sponsor them if you'd like by going to :

It is so very encouraging to see God moving His people to follow His heart for adoption through our family......we are humbled by your sacrifices of prayer, encouragement, and giving.
Love from the Watkins
