HALLELUJAH !!!!!!!
We have received ACCREDITATION in Russia!
Let the fun begin . . . . AGAIN!
Finally!

We had a conference call with our agency on Friday afternoon and they let us know that it had happened. But they asked us not to post it publicly until the certificate was in hand. Do you know how hard that news was for me to KEEP!

The certificate ceremony was held today in Moscow

at 12 noon (last night while were sleeping).

Buckner International Adoption is accredited!!
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!!!

p.s.
Just a little "coincidence??" The accreditation was approved
1 year later, to the day, that we found out about losing Viktoria. July 23.

p.p.s.
I just realized another "coincidence." I started this blog on July 28, 2007 one year to the day that we received this good news.

Some news - just not THE news

When we returned home, we had an e-mail from our agency that all 4 signatures have been received for accreditation. Now we just await the official certificate! Hopefully in a few days I'll be posting THE good news!

Yep Deb, you were right when you wrote in the previous comments, "Hopefully when you come home they'll be some good news of accreditation and you'll have to get busy on paperwork. "

We've already got instructions for some new paperwork.

Halloween 2007 - We're Diggin' It!!

First of all there is the first bit of good accreditation news on FRUA that we've heard in several months! The long awaited proper signature has been obtained and two confirmed agencies (and several others I'm sure) have news that their certificates will be issued within 2 weeks!

Second of all . . . we broke ground this morning on "the Land!!" The construction has begun on our new house. It'll be easy to remember the date! Hopefully we'll begin on Halloween and move in on Easter??!!

I missed getting a picture of the bobcat thingy ( I think it's a front end loader??), I just got a picture of the "after". I'm so excited to see this get started!!
