We have secured a flight plan to Albania out of Grand Rapids that leaves on Sunday, June 15th at 10:00am. From there we will fly to Chicago where we will have a 4 hour layover, and then we fly on to Munich, Germany and then to Tirana, Albania. We should arrive in Tirana on June 16th at 11:50am, their time (I believe they are 6 hours ahead of us).
Our first court hearing in Albania will be on June 27th. About a week after that we will have a 2nd court hearing to finalize paper work, and then there is a mandatory 15 day waiting period for the paper work to be approved and completed. We will then fly home (without Hannah) on Tuesday, July 8th.
...We will return to Albania approximately 2-1/2 to 3 weeks after that and then bring Hannah Grace home after another 1-1/2 to 2 week stay there.
Whew! What an ordeal, but we are trusting the Lord to keep us at peace and in His path of leading :) I feel calmer now. Thank you all for your prayers! God is keeping us in His hands and giving us great comfort.

Bob and Lori -
Are you getting EXCITED?! There must be a lot you're trying to get done before the trip. We are so DELIGHTED for you - all three of you - and you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Bob & Lori,
I'm so excited for you! Our God is an awesome God, and I know this is an answer to a lot of prayers. You two are going to be such great parents. May God continue to bless, as I know He will. Ione
Dear Bob and Lori:
It has been a long journey with the most exciting and emotional time still ahead.
It seems appropriate that you will fly out to meet your daughter on Fathers Day. You will never forget that day as the years pass and you look at your daughter and marvel at how God brought her to you.
We are praying for you and with you as you prepare for this journey. Jan and staff at BCS International
