Quick update

I confirmed today that our agency has submitted its accreditation paperwork to the Russian government! They turned it in before the holiday break, although our agency director was not sure if it was officially "processed" before the break or if it was just recently processed when workers returned from the break this week. In any case, we should hear back about their reaccreditation within 90 days, according to the new laws passed in Russia. This means that - as long as there are no errors in the paperwork - our agency should be reaccredited by sometime in March or April.

We are so happy to see things moving forward. Please pray that this deadline is honored!

Yeah, thank you for the update, how did you find out? I am still clueless on my end.
Aren't days when you find something out exciting?
When is your term over? how nice to have a whole summer to bond w/ your son/daughter.

Sarah,
A merry Christmas to you guys too! I'm glad to hear that things seem to be moving along with the adoption process, though I can certainly understand your frustrations!
Love,
Rachael

We are praying Russia keeps the timeline right with you. Together we will get through this journey and it will be well worth it. We miss seeing you.
