Here begins the journey to meet our “Little Solnishka”. We are blindly traveling to meet a “girl up to age 2”, as we have been told. Our minds are flooded with questions, possibilities, and fears. We are excited to share our experiences with you all, eager to meet our daughter, and yet anxious about the travel. Please pray that God would fill us with wisdom as we travel and give us confidence in His sovereignty over this entire process.
We have half-heartedly been trying to learn some inkling of Russian before we travel; therefore, we wanted to incorporate a little Russian in our blog title. As with any language, there are certain words that are fun to say. Since my favorite Russian word is “naz-da-rov-ya”, which means “health”, we went with Jonah’s favorite . . . solnishka. What is a “solnishka” anyway? The Russian word for “sunshine” is pronounced “sol-nish-ka” . . . solnishka! So, our daughter is our “Little Solnishka”!
