I love reading about all your exciting experiences, my wife an I are on pins and needles wating for the phone call to say we are going, every time the phone rings we jump. We are adopting two little boys and can't wait to meet them but are also filled with some trepidation.

Best of luck to you and your wife.

Let me know if you find out any more info and I'll do the same.
Originally Posted By NicoleWe adopted our two children in Dec from that region. I was very impressed with the Orphanage staff and we had a wonderful time while in Russia. We stayed in an Apartment in Novokuznetsk and we had an overnight stay in Kemerovo. It was nice to have the time in each place. We ventured out on our own a couple times and had a great time. We found the people to be very helpful and nice. We are hoping to go back sometime!We were working with NAdia - who was wonderful and answered all are questions.

We had to have our papers transferred from a different region, so most of our information is translated. Our agency says it should happen pretty quickly, I was afraid to ask what quickly meant; four weeks, two months. I know it won't be too long. How old are your two sons?

I am just getting more frustrated as times goes on, my agency worker tells me she thought for sure we'd be traveling in August, but so far nothing. We are waiting for the invitation from the orphanage, both kids were recently released from the databank so I am told the invitation should come any day. The two boys are both now 1 year old, one was born in June and the other in July.
