As time continues to slip by

Not much to tell. Still waiting, arghhhhhhh. But God’s timing is perfect. I was told by A today that apparently our letter from MOE was lost and a new one has hopefully been sent. She said they can only check on that on Thursday, so hopefully by Friday we will know something. I do not think she is pleased about how long we have had to wait, of course, we are not. I am questioning the representation that CWA has in Kemerovo and their knowledge and experience. However, we knew going in that the process can be different for each case. I think that the wait was just much easier for me with Adrian because I had not held him nor told him I’d be back to get him. Also, he was only two not almost 5, and I wasn’t worried about him waiting on us. Just hoping to get in before vacations become an issue over there and also before our fingerprints expire at the beginning of July. I find it easier not to write about it quite so much now as I get weepy easy. I’m starting a Frazzled Female Bible Study as I am a case study, ha! I’m hanging on and you all will hear me yellin down here in the low country of SC when I hear something positive. Cherie

The latest

And the wait goes on......................................................................... Recently, we were told that the newest requirement is that Mark I must undergo medical exams by an eight panel doctor committee before we go to our region for court. This will only cost us $750 a piece. Now, we will take our lab reports and all from our dr. here in US. This is after we had exams here that had to be notarized and apostilled. Oh, and guess what? We should not expect to hear anything until....at least May 12th due to holiday in Russia.

Mayday, until recently officially termed International Workers' Solidarity Day, is now known as Spring and Labour Day. On some years, it occurs on or close to with Russian Orthodox Easter, so some people celebrate in church while some attend customary demonstrations.
Russia celebrates Victory Day on May 9 to commemorate the millions fallen in World War II. Flowers and wreaths are laid on wartime graves on this day, and veterans come out into the streets wearing their military orders and medals. Alas, there are fewer of them with every passing year.
June 12 - Day of Russia.

Basically, not much gets done the first couple of weeks in May and I'm not sure about that June hoiday, I mean how long it is celebrated. So, back to waiting. I bought some things for Andre today. Can't wait!!!!!!!!!! Love all ya'll. Cherie
