Makin' a Move

After 17 months of waiting for news from Voronezh, it's time to make a move.
Just a little move... to Siberia!

We are now taking steps to have our dossier (paperwork) registered in a different region. It is called KRASNOYARSK and it's actually in Siberia. Don't worry, it was only 20 degrees there last week, I checked. I'm not quite sure what 20 degrees feels like. I usually break out the sweatshirts when it hits 79!

At first we were disappointed. I'd sort of become attached to Voronezh. I can even pronounce it with a cool accent on the r and zh. However, our agency is very optimistic that this will speed things up. There's just one catch... we have a few new documents to complete! That's no surprise, though. They say adopting families have a "paper pregnancy." There certainly is some labor involved.

There have been several families with our agency that traveled to Kras in Sept. and Oct. They've all had good things to say about the trip, the people, and the orphanages. We expect to have our new paperwork in by the end of the month. Keep your fingers crossed!
