Expensive Yanna

It was December 2006 when Yanna left St. Petersburg, Russia to spend a month with our family in the United States. It would be a great experience for us all but it would be over in just 32 days. For all we knew, the journey would end after that; Yanna would return to her orphanage and all our lives would return to normal. But God had a different plan. Expensive Yanna tells the story, at least the story as I remember it, of how we fell in love with and ultimately adopted our fourth child. It was a long process, nearly 16 months in total, but it was a labor of love. More than anything though, it was a process of transformation. Expensive Yanna illustrates the power of God, to change hearts, to change lives and to change families.
