Anxiously Waiting to Pick up Our Daughter!

We returned home last Friday, and are now running around getting a few more last minute documents that need to get to Russia before we pick up Olivia. Because of the Russian Holiday, we will not be picking her up until the 11th of January. We will leave on the 8th or 9th and will have to stay for about 2 weeks until her passport and visa are ready. We are going CRAZY having to wait that long to pick her up, but I'm sure the time will seem to go a little quicker because of Christmas and New Years...hopefully. We will have to stay a few days in Kaluga to wait for her passport and then it's off to Moscow for about a week to finish her medical/visa and exit interview at the U.S Embassy.

We wish all of our Family and Friends a very Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy New Year!

I didn't realize that you'd have to wait so long to return to Russia. At least, you have the holidays to help pass the time. Praying for Olivia this Christmas and that you have a blessed New Year too!

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas!! I know you are dying to get back to Olivia! The holidays should help the time go by quickly and before you know it you'll be on your way home! I hope you had a Merry Christmas!
