About the 'Russian Adoption Shutdown' in the news

I think the media over did it a little.... okay a lot.....

Basically - all adoption agencies working in Russia had to go through a accreditation process before they could process adoptions again. Today was the day that the accreditation expired on the last two agencies. So now there are no agencies that can legally process adoptions.

However, all the agencies have known that this was coming, and are all working on re-accrediting themselves. Our agency is expecting June.

So, not really shut down, just slowed down.

We're not at that stage yet anyway, so we're confident that our agency will be all worked out by the time we get there.

Thanks to everyone who expressed their concern - we appreciate your prayers. :)
