We're moving on over

If you have been reading our blog, you know that our agency has been suspended out of Russia. We have been given the opportunity to switch to a new agency ... but there has been one hurdle. Our home study, which was completed and approved on 7/10/08, was done by the suspended agency. There was some question as to whether or not the MOE (Ministry of Education in Russia ... this is who governs all Russian adoptions) would accept our home study from an agency that has been suspended. The director of our new agency contacted the MOE and ultimately received confirmation that our home study will be accepted and we are good to go. Yay! This was such a relief, as we don't exactly have another 1K-2K to shell out right now for a new home study. Not to mention the delay it would have caused us.

Next on the list: finish compiling our documents (i.e. dossier) to send to Russia and drive to Pittsburgh to meet with the new agency.

The wheels are turning again!
