We got the call today from our adoption agency and they told us we have been matched to a child! All we know is that she is just shy of a year - no name, no medical history, and no picture (which is pretty common with international adoptions).
The crazy part is that they told us we had to be in Russia by Monday, the 12th. You read that right, 7 days from today. Pretty unbelievable, eh? Thank God for airline miles, because the tickets that would have cost us about $5,000 total cost us only $350. We spent the better part of today arranging our flights and putting together our a FedEx pack of info so that we could get our Russian visas by Wednesday.
The other thing that we have to do is complete 10 hours of video training before we leave. We had been so focused on paperwork the past few months, and we had been told that it would take 12-18 months in total that we hadn't started our training. So in the midst of getting all of the other things ready for our trip, we have to watch the videos. We cranked out 3 tonight, and succesfully passed the follow-up quizzes in order for us to get credit for them. Only 7 hours to go!
