Anyone who has been through this process understands it is a lot of hurry up and wait. As you go through it, you are driven to get all of your paper work done quickly so you can move ahead and then slow down and wait for the next step. Then all of a sudden something happens at home or in country and you have to prepare more paperwork or plan a trip as quickly as possible to the other side of the world or do both.
Well, if you haven’t guessed it, I’m doing both right now. I got a call on Wednesday asking if I could travel next week. I have a lot to do as I’m getting ready to leave for Russia, documents, visa, packing, plane tickets, etc. I’ll be leaving on the 12th for Moscow. From there I will travel to Astrakhan where I will spend the week. If things go well, by the time I come home on the 20th I will know my son. Stay tuned….
