I stumbled onto your website by accident, but I don't believe in accidents, so I was meant to find you! I also have a blog called "From Russia with Love" because my husband and I adopted a girl from Russia in August. (Court date was August) I had an INCREDIBLY good adoption experience, so I think I can help. I decided to adopt in January of this year and our Katya came home with me this September, after our waiting period. Seven months, from start to finish, and my agency is not accredited. It is because of an incredible attorney in Moscow. He is a miracle worker, and I don't use that work lightly! Email me if you want his name and number. He speaks perfect English. He is a saint, and is in it for all the right reasons. God bless, and let me know how I can help. Sheila sbuoni@cox.net

I'm glad you stopped by! This blog chronicles my experiences living in and adopting from Russia. It was a six-year journey that doubled the size of my family. I adopted my daughter, then age 6, from Moskovskaya Oblast. Now we're back in the USA and no longer posting from Russia.
March 2006: adoption officially begins! blah. blah. blah. March 2008: starting over with "new agency" May 2008: paperwork to US July 2008: paperwork in Russia September 2008: possiblity... November 2008: improbability. December 3, 2008: 1000 days! February 2009: MOE approval! May 2009: "the call" (which was actually an e-mail.) June 2009: trip one July 2009: a visit September 2009: court 1294 days after March 2006:together!

Yes. Look at the bright side of things. It will all time out perfectly. Sigh. ((hugs))
true - the timing is good!
keep those spirits up (hard to do when nothing seems to be happening!)
we are here for you K8 it will all come to fruition...
jeez...c'mon, Kate...one F word. That's all I want. Make it rhyme with "truck"
maybe I should check your blog before I email you next time. hmmmph.
I hope something good comes through soon, Kate. Meanwhile, enjoy the political trauma and the winter weather!
Hang in there Kate!!!! Most of FRUA still seems like rumor at this point...
This accreditation thing is enough to drive one nutso, huh? I'm in the same boat you are. It'll happen. Soon. Real soon. Right? :-)

Way to stay positive Kate. Even though inside you may be screaming, "WTF???!!!"
Sorry. Sigh.
Did you find a good book?
I'm sorry. Hoping you get some news soon.
