I got an e-mail from our facilitator today that read:
"Your dossier has been successfully submitted to the SDA today. We should know your travel date in 2 weeks."
Can I hear a big Woo Hoo!!!????
This came hot on the heels of hearing conflicting reports about whether Russian adoptions to America had truly been closed. We're not adopting from Russia but our country will most likely follow suit to whatever Russia does. So, we're feeling a great sense of relief that we're officially "in the system" in country now!!!
So, please continue praying that the timing continues as stated and that we will truly hear about a travel date in 2 weeks. That doesn't mean we'll travel in 2 weeks but it could mean that we'll be travelling within a month's time!
Thank you Lord for this very Big Step toward our baby girl!!!
