Rostov-on-Don

Last night we had our class at the agency on Russia. Lots of information to make your head swirl but exciting too. Although we won't know anything for sure until we get a referral, it is looking more and more like Russia is going to work out for us instead of U.S. adoption. With our agency's reaccreditation we are only looking at maybe a two month wait now for a referral to Russia.

We found out that our dossier has been submitted to Rostov-on-Don in the Rostov Region of Russia. Rostov-on-Don is in the South Western part of Russia right on the border to Ukraine. Most likely this is where we will be traveling to meet our child. Things are always subject to change but usually they don't at this point. I am trying to learn as much as possible about this region now. I have always wanted to visit Ukraine since my ancestors are from there so I hope we get the chance. Since one trip will probably be 3 weeks we will hopefully get to do both. Now I'm off to google more about Rostov-on-Don and see what I can learn!
