Another big turn in our Adoption
Ok, we have submitted all but one piece of paperwork to our agency for our China adoption. Today my agency called and said that in Kaliningrad, Russia "the region our dossier is registered in" has issued a court order to go ahead and process adoption for families whose dossier was submitted before the Agencies lost their accredidation which would be us. That is all that our agency knows at this minute. The form my dh and I had to complete to withdraw our paperwork from Russia is in Kaliningrad and has not made it to Moscow yet. The coordinator in Kaliningrad called my agency today to find out if we wanted to go ahead and withdraw the paperwork or to go ahead and process it for our adoption. So what dh and I have decided was to wait approx. 6 weeks to see if there is anymore news coming from Kaliningrad, before we have our agency pull our paperwork in Russia. So I guess that officially makes me a Russia/China pap. lol. I swear I could write a book on how many twist and turns this adoption has taken . I have not even talked about all of them on the boards. I just wanted to let you all know and ask for anyones opinion, who would like to give it. I hope we are doing the right thing. If there is no news from Russian in a few months we will go ahead and send our paperwork to China. I am calm, and ok with this, but I am getting a little dizzy from all the turning.lol
