I'm back in the saddle again!!

Hello All!!

After having our wonderful little boy home for just over a year and a half, we're ready to set out for number two!! I know that Mother Russia is moving more slowly than ever, but this time I've got Jack to distract me from the wait.

We just sent in our I-600A, and sent in the paperwork to re-sign with our old agency.

Let the insanity begin!!

Kim

That's great news! Congratulations! I found our second adoption much easier - because DS was there to distract me. Hopefully, you will bring your little one home very soon!
