The last few days have brought wonderful news!

Firstly, yesterday our agency (Lighthouse Adoptions in Ann Arbor) told us we have a very good chance of of getting a Ministry of Education appointment on either July 8th or 15th. What does that mean? It means we get to meet our child on that day, in Moscow! This is the news we've been waiting to hear. We will find out for sure on July 1st, when our dossier is registered with the Ministry of Education in Moscow.

As I think I wrote previously on this blog, we decided to consider referrals for single boy under 2 years old a couple months ago simply because we want to be parents NOW. The wait for a little girl is longer than a boy, so we thought having a child at home would make the wait easier. Lorien (from Lighthouse) called me today to say that have a bio sibling group in Moscow for us to meet! This is the most ideal situation for us. Pete is often the more practical of the two of us, so he is tempering his enthusiasm until this information is concrete. We've been thru many similar scenarios in the past, but Lorien actually tells us what is going on. I now understand better how this process works in Russia.

Wish us luck!
