We are in month 15 of our journey - over 6 months since our dossier was registered in our region. We don't expect a referral for a while, because of the NGO/accred. issues. Do you know if your agency is accredited, and has their NGO? There is a general slowdown in Russia, though things are still moving depending on where your agency works and the status of their accreditation.
We've also thought of changing countries, but currently believe that we will see things happen in Russia before we could get all of our paperwork redone and registered in another country. The wait is definitely difficult, but I would do your research to see if you would really gain much by changing. Realistically, what is a few months, if you have your heart set on a little boy from Russia.
