Well, we had our meeting with our facilitator today and she said that we are still set for court tomorrow. We are nervous and excited all at the same time! After our prep time, we visited Alek and took him outside to enjoy the "warm" weather of 32 degrees F. It actually did feel quite warm today. We've added a couple of great shots of the little guy - one where he was demonstrating his drumming skills on a Pringle's can we brought him. We are now just sitting in our room preparing for likely questions and then we will try to get some rest. My verse for tonight and tomorrow is 
Exodus 33:14 "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." Pray with us that we will indeed rest in His presence as we face the unknown tomorrow. Our facilitator gave us some preparation, but honestly, I think she is hesitant to say what "typically" happens in court because things have changed SO much in the last few years. Pray that we will be confident and honest in our answers and show humility, patience, and respect for all who we encounter. We want to honor the Lord in all that we say and do. Thank you! We will post as SOON as we know something tomorrow!!

Prayers are being said for your visit with the judge tomorrow. He will see the special people you are and how much you love and care for little Alek. It will all shine because of your obedience to the Lord and because the Holy Spirit is with you. Go to sleep with sweet thoughts and prayers....no parents could be better prepared!
Love you and miss you,
Cyd and Steve
I will be praying for you. Only a few more hours and this will all be behind you. Hope you had a restful sleep in preparation for court.
Dear Lynn & Scott: I feel so much peace for you right now. You are prepared, you are strong in the Lord, and he will be with you. Psalm 127:3 "Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him." God Bless all three of you tonight and sleep well, for tomorrow you shall be three. I love you, Susan
We are and will continue to pray that all goes very well in the court meeting tomorrow.
Alek is only hours away from being the person that will carry forward our family name!! I cannot think of anyone in the world I would rather have do that. We were so happy to have Scott, and he has carried forward our name with a great deal of pride and honor. I know Alek will with the wonderful parents he has will bring pride and joy to all he encounters.
Love you all,
Mom & Dad Platter
We are saying prayers for you both...God will bring Good News! We all admire you two...your faith is awesome indeed.
God Bless you Three...
Love,
Les
My thoughts and prayers are with you constantly. May the Lord give you peace, courage and strength at the hearing. May He put his loving arms around you this day We'll be waiting to hear the good news. Blessings and Love, always, MOM
Oh Lynn, Scott and Alek:
I can hardly believe this day is finally almost here. I am praying for you. We prayed for you guys in church on Sunday. I can't wait to see you in just a few more weeks.

Before we stood before the Chelyabinsk judge in Feb 06, the Spirit lead us to read Psalm 26 and 27. Here is the first two verses of both:
26:1 Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity; and I have trusted in the Lord without wavering.
27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation. whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?
The rest of both chapters seemed to meet us right where we needed before court. We are praying for you. Julie and Matt
We will be praying and anxiously awaiting wonderful news!!! The judge will definitely see what wonderful parents you already are!!
With love,
Jenn, Eric and Rylee
I'll be awake and on my knees in prayer. 4am Eastern Time!!! Anxious to hear how it goes.
It's YOUR time!
Laura
