I spoke with C last Thursday and she said that they want to keep our dossier in Kemorovo after all. She was told that there is a CHANCE that there may be another girl referral in September. She said that she will not keep us there long though, so if there isn't a referral by the middle of September, we will again discuss our options. I am going SO crazy....I really hope we do get a call in September!Meanwhile, Joe and I took yet another trip to the Florida Keys! I really needed it after being told we would possibly get our call in July....and didn't.....and then being told that Kemerovo wasn't giving any girl referrals until at least January of next year (which may not be the case now...who knows). It felt REALLY good to just relax, drink some delicious margeritas and do a little fishing.....who CARED if hurricane Fay was on it's way to the keys also.
Saturday night Joe and I were at Lazy Days, one of our FAVORITE places to eat overlooking the ocean. We got a call from our Captain for our Sunday morning trip and he said that it's going to be some GREAT fishing tomorrow and that the storm isn't supposed to REALLY hit until Tuesday night. He said that they just called for an evacuation for all visitors for Sunday morning at 8:00, but we're coming back in at 3:00 and then we can just get into the evacuation line. ARE WE CRAZY?!?!?!
So, we DID go out and it WAS beautiful most of the trip except it was a little windy and the waves were about 5 foot. I wasn't nervous until we were heading back and it got REAL dark and REAL windy. We did catch alot of dolphin, but it was just a little too rough out there and it was a bit hectic on the boat as far as the fishing went....but it was fun! Joe and I wished we were staying so we could actually see the storm, but we got out just before it got really bad.
Now, we wait and see if we get our call in September.....I REALLY, REALLY hope we do because this is WAY too stressful!
Congratulations to Karen and Cathy who traveled on their first trips to meet and accept their baby girl and boy!!!! And to Michelle who had her Gotcha Day with her precious little girl!
Good luck to the families who will be traveling or are traveling right now!!!!
bye for now,
Renae and Joe

Renae,
I just read the latest post. I too so want for you to get that phone call soon. I would so love for us to be traveling together. It would be soooo wonderful!!! There are no words to describe the feeling of disappointment when you didn't get the call in July... but.... September will be the month!!!
Love and hugs!
Karen
Hey just found your blog! I hope you hear something soon. Both my children are from Novokuznetsk which is in Kemerovo. I know the waiting (especially) for a girl is terribly hard but it is so worth it. When it is all said and done you will have wonderful adoption memories and a precious child that you know was meant to be with you. Good luck and hang in there.
Renae, my heart is going out to you and prayers are going up for you. Kemerovo is a tough region. Everything moves super slowly.. have you joined the Kemerovo group on yahoo? I even noticed FRUA had some kemerovo posts/ threads lately.. not sure if they are in the Russia area or the PAP area.. but they are discussing the action happening. A few families are in line for girls there with other agencies.
