So many of you have asked what is going on with our adoption. I will try to give you the condensed version.
Over the last three to four weeks our adoption agency has been actively looking for a different adoption agency to take on our case to assist us in finishing out the adoption process. Why would they do that? Well, our agency was the agency that facilitated the adoption in Tennessee where the person sent her child back to Russia, unattended on a plane....Yes, you read that correctly. If you haven't heard the story just type some key words into Google and I'm sure you find it. So, currently our agency's license in Russia is suspended and the rumor mill has it that it will be terminated.
So the best thing for us to do at this time is to move on to another agency. No, we do not have to start the process all over. While we were in Russia, we signed an agreement accepting the referral of our two little boys.
We have selected a new agency we are just waiting for some paperwork to make it official. All of our current paperwork will be routed from the old agency to the new agency.
We have heard that some regions in Russia are still processing adoption cases. Things are moving slowly, but that is better then not at all.
In the meantime.....Marisa has passed another class and has moved onto her summer semester.
Jason continues to be busy with building and painting. He finished up the desk for the boys room. He's currently painting the drawers, a little table and chair (hopefully building a second one) and a small set of drawers.
Twilla (Marisa's mom) has been hard at work and made two wonderful...well that's not adequate, lets try gorgeous quilts. One for each bed. Pix of the room and quilts are below.
Thanks again for all of your prayers and support, it really means a lot to us.
Until next time...
