Paperwork Pregnant Again

Sorry for no posts for so long. Been busy doing paperwork and haven't had much to post until now.

As you may notice in my previous posts the pictures have been deleted at the request of my agency. Why? Well, things don't exactly go by the 'book' all the time...like we are to have no info on any children until we travel to Russia, but we are fortunate to have gotten some in round-about ways. This could get some in trouble, plus there is always the 'fear' that someone else could steal a referral, although I don't know really if that ever happens. So it was either delete the pictures or make my blog private, which means anyone wanting to read my blog would have to put in a person request to have access to it which I would then have to approve - a pain for you and me. So hopefully you already got a sneak peak!

So paperwork is done again! SOOOOO glad for that. Well, except for applying for Sponsorship for a third child which I first need to do our 2009 taxes to do.

Also, our agency just informed us that the boys have been examined by the Designated Medical Practioner and that he was very pleased with how healthy all three are! So we are now waiting for his report, then have to decide whether or not to have it reviewed by a doctor specializing in evaluating and interpreting internation adoption referrals. I'd love to have someone tell me that they don't have any medical issues like FAS, but they can't be 100% sure, and I am guessing that it will cost us hundreds of dollars per child. I just don't know. Every penny is needed right now with things looking like they should be happening pretty fast, and Aaron and I both feel that these are 'the ones', so I'm not sure if spending the extra $$ is really worth it?

About when will all this be happenning? MY best GUESS is that we will travel in Oct or Nov to meet them, and then have a Dec court date...so may be spending Christmas in Russia. :(  New prayer request is that we will ALL be home before Christmas!
