Update

Let me apologize, I know it's been a while since I have posted anything. But there have been many changes in our lives. Like with most adoption families our adoption story is changing too. Yes we are still adopting, but instead of a boy we will now be adopting a girl 3-5. We expect to fly in April and have court in June. Now with that said, let me explain the reason for the change. You see Russia closed in March for adoptions while the accreditation process happened. My agency was accredited in Dec. ----- it just so happened ( not planned--we wanted to wait until after the adoption was complete) that during that time my husband and I found out we were pregnant. I gave birth in Jan. to a beautiful little boy. So while I won't have a Borris... I do have a little "B" in my life. We are thrilled. And after talking it over, we decided it would be nice to give little "B" a big sister. So that is the way our adoption journey is headed right now. I promise now that I have cleared the air and have a bit more sleep (B is sleeping more now) I will post more updates. As for where the paperwork stands... everything is is processed and the court would like an update and a postpartum update. That will happen in March. Once that happens we "should" get a referral soon. I'm told our paperwork is still at the top of the list and is just waiting this last update. Meanwhile, I am working on the paperwork for the courts in June. I know there are always changes in an adoption, but so far I'm rolling with the punches and loving each part. It feels good to be back. By nature I am a writer and I missed writing updates on our lives. So stay with us and I'll keep everyone up to date.
This is Little B. He's keeping us very busy!!! And he can't wait to meet his older sister!!

he is just the cutest thing evah! I hope you get a referral soon. I know you love your son (as I do mine), but there is nothing quite like a girl. You will be doubly blessed.
