My Russian hs is finished and on it's way to the reps in Moscow!
We *love* my Russian social worker.
We *love* DHL who copied the document for me, free of charge, before guaranteeing it, along with my entire dossier, would be in Moscow tomorrow. Tomorrow!
And, we're quite fond of my international sw right now. She says we don't need to do an update. New agency might be persuaded by her experience (much) in the world of ex-pat adoption over theirs (none, it turns out). Might. Hope. Pray.
Insert those happy pink elephants dancing -->here.

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.

I followed your comments on my blog back here and I'm LOVING this blog! Thanks for dropping by mine! I am gonna take some time and read backwards! Strange I know, but I am very intrigued! BTW, where in Russia are you living?
That would be great! Yeah!
YAY!
Is DHL the preferred carrier in Russia? That is what I usually use when sending things over there - but wondered if there was another smarter option. Need to Overnight some documents - can't wait to spend that $200+!
