Received Our Referral and accepted too!
Hi! I just wanted to let you all know that we received a referral last week and tonight we received confirmation with the IA doctor that everything is fine.

He is a 3 year old boy in Moscow. I don't want to go into too much detail for obvious reasons. I wasn't expecting a referral yet and was very surprised when I got the call at work. My DH didn't believe me when I called him to tell him the news. We were looking for a boy in between the ages of 2 to 4.

Thankfully my Adopting from Russia CD arrived today!!
