Happy New Year

Happy New Year!  May we all celebrate new beginnings in 2011.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!   Enjoy the day with your family and friends!

Next Steps

CHI and I have had many discussions about the options available to me.  We discussed a few regions but ultimately decided that the best place for me to continue my adoption journey would be in Moscow.  That being said, today I applied for a Visa that will allow me to return to Russia in the beginning of the new year.  Hopefully I will receive my invitation to travel quickly when the calendar turns to 2011.  I hope all of you will continue to support me and follow along as I move forward in this process once again.  I'll post again soon.

Documents

We had some unforseen delays getting all of my documents out of Astrakhan.  I received word last night that we got my documents back.  That's a good thing!   I'll speak to CHI again soon about the options available to me and then I'll have some decisions to make about what happens next. 

Thanks

Thanks to all of you for your continued support and prayers.  Please continue to keep me and the beautiful boys I have left behind in your thoughts and prayers.  

I'll post again soon.

Update

I recently found out that I won’t be able to go back to Astrakhan. The little man I leave behind will remain in my heart forever.

Documents Submitted to Court

This past week my documents were submitted to the court in Astrakhan again.  Now a judge needs to be assigned to my case.  Once the judge is assigned, my documents will be reviewed by the judge and we'll see what happens next.  This next step should take about two weeks or so.
