Back to Waiting

Jason and I worked very hard to get as much paperwork done as humanly possible before we left for our Court Dossier. When you adopt from Russia you have to submit two sets of documents, one before you receive a referral and one after you meet the child referred to you. All we had to do when we got home was to pick up our blood tests, copy all of the paperwork, have it apostilled and drop it off. I think everything has been sent off to Russia. That is great news!

So now all we can do is wait some more... We were told it could be between 3 and 6 months before we get to go back. Now that we've met him and know his little personality and sizes, I've started to buy him some clothes. I bought his first pair of little pajamas today. I think I'll keep them forever. When he's 20 I'll be showing his dates his first pair of pajamas. Mom came up and we went to get a rocking chair at Little Deb N Heir in Naperville. We'll start getting his furniture soon too. Can't wait to see what it will all look like together!

I'll let you know as soon as we get any more information!

  1. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this last waiting period isn't as long as they say it could be. Aunt Judy

  4. Hi! I am also done with my paperwork. I hope neither of us have to wait long. Please keep me updated of your progress. I have gone crazy buying things for Vika.
    Thank you for all your help. I would never be done with my paperwork without your guidance and support.
