Passed DSS!!!

Hello again everyone! I hope that you are all enjoying your first few days of fall! I know we are!! This week has been a long one, however, we received both our FBI Background Checks and our Citizenship information. So, now all we do is wait! It could be 2-4 months before the Russian Ministry matches us with our son! As soon as they do, they will invite us to Russia for our preview visit which will last about 5 days. We are hoping to head over on our first trip around Thanksgiving. Our documents are currently being translated to Russian and will soon be sent over to the Ministry. I have been learning some Russian and Andy has been studying the history of Russia. We are also debating on whether to stay with a host family or in a hotel on our first trip! It would definitely be an experiment to live with a Russian family! Bottoms up.....(get it, because all they do is drink!)

Love y'all,
Cassidy

  2. Thank you Katie, though I am not sure that I have been the picture of patience! I am defnitely not a good "waiter" so this has been extremely difficult. Unfortunately, more waiting to come...much more waiting!
