Exciting News!!!

Well, after a VERY LONG wait we finally have big news to share....we have a referral!!  We actually received the video on Monday June 18.  Upon receiving it, we sent it to Dr. Melissa Goldstein (in New York City) who came highly reccommended to us.  She watched the video, sent us a written report that Friday and followed up with a conference call with us the next Tuesday.  She advised us to request some additional information from Russia and that's where yet another delay occurred.  It took 3 1/2 weeks to get the information we requested in order to make our official decision (all is fine!).  In the meantime, the agency contacted us with the travel dates of our first trip!!  So, here is the information everyone has been waiting for:

Baby Girl was born on November 20, 2011.  She lives in Perm, Russia.  At the time of our video she was 6 months old and weighed 16 lbs, 2 oz and was 26 inches long. 

The dates of our first trip are August 25 - September 1 (flights are already booked).  So, that means we will FINALLY get to meet our baby girl on Monday August 27!!!
