Due to the delays I have experienced while waiting for a court date, my immigration clearance has now expired. I met with my social worker last week and I will be resubmitting to the US Immigration Services for new clearance this week.
It seems like time goes by faster than anything else in this process. I hope the children I have met in this process and all of the other children in the orphanages are well taken care of and that someday soon someone says yes so these children can have homes. All I can do now is to continue to wait and watch the time go by…. Chris

Still Waiting
Not much to say but I thought I would post because I know some of you check my blog regularly. The meetings between the US and Russia have taken place and fortunately CHI (the adoption agency I’m working with) has the required accreditation needed to continue working in Russia. At this point I’m still waiting for a court date, hopefully I will be assigned a date very soon. I think about my little man all the time, wondering how he’s doing, what he’s doing, how he’ll react when he see’s me again, etc, etc. I hope to see him again very soon but for now all I can do is continue to wait. Take care, Chris

Hurry Up & Wait, Then Hurry Up Again
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….
