Preparations
Hopefully we will get another referral next week. In the meantime, Aaron is getting the baby room ready. He tore down the paneling and is putting new drywall up. We are estimating that our first trip to Russia could be in June and our second trip in July. So we have until July to get things ready.

wait again....
We had to turn down our first referral. There were too many concerns I saw in the medical record. They will send us another soon.
The referral is coming, the referral is coming!
I got an email that they are sending us the info today! Now we wait for the email!

referral coming soon......
I talked with our agency and they have gotten several new referrals. They are waiting on the picture to come. They will send us information sometime this week! Once we get the picture and medical record, we will send it to Texas Children's Hospital's International Adoption Clinic and have a Dr. review the information and give us recommendations.
