A Little Good Russia News....

Okay, well, I think we are moving forward again. We found an adoption agency in VA that will help us with this new snag. Of course, it is just another delay which is frustrating for all of us, but I am grateful that we've got it all worked out now. Our agency in Seattle is moving forward with all the Russia stuff while the one in VA is getting the rest of the other paperwork ready.

Yes, working on this adoption are:
1 huge adoption agency in Seattle
1 medium sized adoption agency is Utah
1 medium sized adoption agency in Virginia
1 Social Worker in Munich, Germany
1 Frazzled and Confused mommy in Frankfurt
Oh, and we just got our INS paperwork updated thanks to the Department of Homeland Security in Frankfurt.

Let's see, did I forget anyone? Yes, Alex in St. Petersburg who has done so much to help us and the person who gave us all the tools we need to move forward -- Mary Kirkpatrick from
http://www.russianfamilysearch.com/ -- you can read about Anastasia on her website.

This is starting to sound like an Oscar acceptance speech and we don't even have Anastasia yet. Sigh. Just wanted to share the magnitude of what it has taken for the last 3 1/2 years to get to this point. Can you imagine? All for a little girl whom no one in the world, except us, wants.
Well, wait till she is in my arms. Because I will be thanking all these people again and again. The little snags aren't going to bring me down anymore because when I look back at it now I know we are almost there. Thank you Heavenly Father!!
