Well - it seems as we ran out of cards and time - so we've thrown in the towel. For anyone we missed with our Christmas cards this year - here's the latest & greatest:
Merry Christmas &
Happy New Year!
Many folks have been asking & wondering how things are going for us lately. And we’re happy to say that they have been going very smooth so far. We started the adoption proceedings at the end of September, so by our agency’s timeline we should be finished and standing back here in the U.S. sometime between June and September of 2011. This of course is not exact and anything can change, but we’re happy to report that at this point in time all of our paperwork is in the hands of the Russian government, and the U.S. government. Everything has been submitted and we are now in the waiting stage.
We are slowly making preparations at home for our new addition and of course for all of the travel involved. We are expecting to make two trips to Russia next year, the first one being approximately a week long & the second being from three to four weeks. We will be headed to either Moscow, St. Petersburg or Leningrad. Please remember all of us in your prayers & thoughts as we need everyone’s support! We’ve purchased a netbook so that we can keep in touch via the internet, email & Skype while we’re away. And we’ll be updating our blog with important news and announcements ASAP. So don’t be shy & keep in touch!
With Love,
Jim & Kelly
