The latest news is...
Yes, I have to have a home visit. (No use asking why we're just getting around to this point now...so I'm trying not to waste time and energy on useless whys.)
SW cannot come until NOVEMBER.
I'm going to Helsinki for a very expensive day out. We leave tomorrow and return on Sunday. Hoping a taste of the West will be cheering.

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.

November?! UGH!!! What does that mean for your I-171H? Doesn't it expire early next year?
Enjoy your trip.
Praying. Hard.
Ugh. I wish you didn't have so many hurtles. but then again, you will appreciate it that much more when it does happen I guess.
Have fun in Finland.....
so sorry to hear about the latest delay.... yikes
Praying for it to be your turn next...
Hugs
Sending you hugs. I am so sorry.
Check out the rock church in Helsinki...beautiful, and the one that's at the top of the huge stair case in front of the replica of a Russian square (same square as in St. Pete? I can't remember now)...stunning church. I loved Helsinki.
So sorry! Have fun in Helsinki. I won't be reading for a week because I'm going on the Disney cruise. I'll send pictures when I return. Love, Nif
November, no way!! That's crazy!
You definitely need the trip away. I hope you have a great weekend!
thinking of you this weekend...
Sorry about the latest delay. This really shouldn't be so hard!
Helsinki is "The West"???? Have a good day there!
It's almost October. November will soon be here. Love from El Paso
I can't imagine waiting that long for a socialworker to schedule a visit.
BTW, you are living out my dream. Are you volunteering in an orphanage too? That is what I would be doing if I was living in Russia. :)
