We Got our call!

WE finally got our call this morning after almost 2 year wait and a change of agencies in between. We leave on Dec 7 and do not know when we will return. We will be staying in Russia until the adoption is completed.
Vladimir here we come!
I will post more when we return. We are frantically packing, sending for our visa's etc etc.
I do want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!

We are on our way to Vladimir. We will get our referral when we arrive. We have requested an infant girl. I think at this point it doesn't matter boy or girl.
I just feel like there is so little time and so much to do before we leave. Our agency said to expect travel beginning to mid Dec and we heard nothing until this morning. They asked if we could be in Russia on Wed and expect to stay until the adoption is complete. Talk about being under pressure! (lol) I will try and post when I can. All the unknowns are driving me crazy. (lol)
