More good news from our agency....

"On July 6, 2007 the first group of 12 agencies was accredited in Russia, 7 of which were US adoption agencies. America World's partner agency is in the second group of agencies at the Ministry of Education. The first group of agencies took approximately 3 weeks at the Ministry of Education prior to being granted reaccreditation. AWAA's partner agency's last documents were submitted to the Ministry of Education on July 3. If the same timeframe holds true for the second group of agencies as the first, it is possible that reaccreditation could be given in approximately two weeks. Please recall that once reaccreditation is granted, it may take a few weeks to receive the appropriate paperwork and accredit all staff in the regions which is necessary before we are fully functional again. The facilitator staff in the regions has started informing the regional governments regarding expected reaccreditation in order to be prepared to work as soon as possible. We will continue to keep you updated as information becomes available".

Pretty exciting!! Finally there's light at the end of the tunnel!!

Isn't it awesome! Our agency hasn't been finalized yet, but they're in the process and it's great to see others being approved.
I found your blog through Debbie's (nice to meet you) and see that we are both in Florida! I saw your Disney shots and have to say, if you've never been to their Food and Wine festival, you must make it a point to go this year (Sept 28 through Nov 11). Something like 25-ish kiosks with wonderful food and beverages from around the world (each both has something like an appetizer, 2 main dishes, a dessert or 2, and several wines and/or beers- everything priced for the most part at between 2 and 4 dollars for sample size portions). We're in the paper chase phase, ourselves. So excited to get to know you!

Hi Penny and Chris! I found your blog through Debbie's. I am with CHI and was just assigned to Krasnoyarsk as well! It's only been 24 hours since I've started researching so it's been great to read through your blog and find out information. I'm so sorry you've been through as much as you have. I hope and pray that both of our agencies are in this next batch! This waiting game isn't for the weak at heart!
Best wishes!
Becky
