It's hard to believe that 2007 is behind us. Time certainly does seem to fly, and it's hard to believe that it's been about 6 months since we decided to start on this journey of adoption.
We just spent what we hope is our last (or next to last) holiday season without a kiddo. It's very exciting to think that if we can get our documents submitted to the state by the end of January, and then to Russia by the end of Febuary/early March, we could be on the waiting list a little after Easter.
From there, they estimate that the waiting period is about 9-18 months, however, it could change since our adoption agency just received its reaccreditation from Russia this past month. While waiting for the reaccreditation, they put several couples on their waiting list, so there are approximately 25-35 families ahead of us, from what we can tell. But since there haven't been that many adoptions out of Russia recently pending other agency reaccreditations, the process could get sped up. The short answer on how long the wait will be is, who really knows.
