We just learned today that our agency has been granted NGO status by the Russian government. Woohoo!!!!!
You might ask how this affects our situation. It essentially means that now our agency can actually apply for its reaccreditation (which was not allowed w/o NGO status). It could still be a while -- the online adoption gossip ranges for estimates of "any week now" to maybe not even this calendar year. Our agency has an optimistic timeline, but we will just have to see what happens. In any case, the situation is MUCH better now that the first hoop has been jumped through. Once hoop # 2 is done, we will be on our way to Russia in no time!
We'll keep you posted!

That's wonderful, Sarah. I am following this with great interest. We will pray for your adoption process. By the way, we spoke with Anita last night and she is really enjoying developing closer relationship with coworkers and friends in Bolivia, as well as her work. They just had a general strike in Santa Cruz so she got a three-day weekend.

Sorry this is so late. We both admire your patience and stamina in seeing this through. I would have been exasperated beyond endurance. But we trust that the Lord is working his own wonderful ways out with you and so that gives you thepersistence you need.
See you both in a few weeks. We'll keep on praying.
