I sent an e-mail to our coordinator on Thursday just to check in. She informed me that our dossier is not registered in Krasnoyarsk, but that they were considering our dossier "flexible" so that if any other region has girl referrals available first, they will hurry and send our dossier to that region. Joe and I LOVE the Siberian region and hope that we will still be able to adopt from Siberia, but will go anywhere.
She also informed me that they have opened several more regions to try and make the referrals go quicker, and will be opening several more regions within the next two months. This is good news and hopefully it will make things speed up a bit.
My husband and I sat down on Friday and he really made me realize that I have to be a little more patient and that our beautiful girl WILL come to us soon.
Congratulations to those who are traveling soon to get their children!
Take Care,
Renae

Joe and I live in New Jersey and are anxiously waiting to travel to Russia to bring home our little girl. I have an angel of a son, Michael, who is 19 and is in his second year of college. We are all so excited to bring this little girl home and shower her with love!

Hi! I just found your blog and wanted to say...we're in Hoboken and are in the EARLY stages of the adoption journey (almost done with the homestudy). We're looking to adopt an infant girl from Russia so that we can give our (bio) daughter a little sister!
I hope you get your REFERRAL SOON!!!!
