The Omsk Region

After completing our Dossier for the Vladimir region, we decided after all to try for a different region (or orphanage) in Russia. Among the many reasons, somehow the Vladimir region is not working out so well right now due to government restrictions, etc. Needless to say, we needed to make a few changes to the paperwork for the new region, Omsk. So, I had to get changes made by my social worker, notarize them, apostille them, donate a kidney to them, offer up my first born to them, etc. etc. to get this thing FINISHED!



I UPS'd the paperwork to my agency along with copies to everyone else involved and am now awaiting #1 To make sure I did everything right, #2 My case worker to translate everything for the Russian government, and #3 For the agency to cash my next check (always a good sign).



We will await news to confirm that we are still "on-hold" for our 2nd choice orphanage in Yaroslav. (We were 13th in line, which translates to about 12 months, as of April.) And to see if we can get some kind of indication of our wait-time for Omsk. There really is no good guess at this point....somewhere between 3-9 months probably? Maybe? Hopefully?
