Rumor Confirmed

I got an email from our family coordinator this afternoon confirming that reaccreditation would probably not be completed until February of next year. However, she said that they are fairly certain that their accreditation would be valid through May of 2008, not next year in May. So hopefully this is the last delay we will experience due to the reaccreditation process.
She also had very good news. She said that they expect that referrals will not be slow in coming because there would be fewer accreditated agencies working in Russia, so there would be more children readily available. So I am very hopeful that once the reaccreditation is finished we will get a referral relatively quickly. There are lots of other families waiting for referrals, but since we are all interested in different ages and genders of children hopefully the wait for our little girl will come to an end in the next few months. It's pretty awesome to think that this is probably our last Thanksgiving and Christmas with just the two of us!

Russian word of the day: EH-tuh nyee-i-GROOSH-kuh "that's not a toy" (I like this one, might come in handy if she's closer to 2 years old when we meet her)
