"Our agency today received word that our agency's partner agency in Russia has received approval from all necessary government institutions (the various ministries) and all of these approvals are currently at the Ministry of Education. We are now waiting for reaccreditation by the Ministry of Education. The exact timeframe for the Ministry of Education to grant reaccreditation remains uncertain, however the timeframe being suggested is a few weeks. Once reaccreditation is granted it may take a couple weeks for the official paperwork to be completed and work begun.
Our agency's partner agency is currently in the second set of 10 agencies that have received approval from the various ministries and are awaiting reaccreditation at the Ministry of Education. The reason for our current positioning appears to be missing post placement reports from previous families working with our partner agency.
Our agency is very excited at the continued progress occurring in the reaccreditation process. We do however remain cautious regarding timeframes as we have seen timeframes lengthen unexpectedly in the past. We will continue to keep you updated as new information becomes available.
Please continue to pray for this process, the officials at the Ministry of Education, and the many children in orphanages who are affected by this process."
This is very exciting news! This sounds like we should have reaccreditation hopefully by the end of July and maybe things will get moving by September (August is usually a slow month in Russia as most of the court officials go on vacation for most of the month)!
I am cautiously hopeful, but very excited that there appears to at least be some end in sight and it's not ridiculous to think she could be home with us by Christmas! I only have a few more documents to get done and then they are off to the Secretary of State for apostille, I am even more anxious now to have everything in order and ready!
Please keep praying for forward movement and that our daughter would be in God's loving care while she waits for us to bring her home.
