Update from Yesterday

Today, there was some official corresponse from Russia regarding the reaccredidations. (somewhat timely). Unfortunately, their official statement was nothing more than "we need some more documents from the agencies".

Specifically, they want documentation that adopted children will have the same rights as biological children. Of course, it is absurd to think anything other than everyone having the same rights.

According to the buzz within frua.org, the consensus is that the Ministry of Justice was too slow getting back to the Ministry of Education on this matter, so the Ministry of Education had to make something up in order to buy some more time. I hope that this doesn't re-start the 3 month time clock. Again, the buzz on FRUA is that this action will not re-start the 3 month time clock for the MOE to get back to us. Of course, we have no way of knowing....

The real tragedy is the hundreds of soon to be parents that have everything submitted and are merely waiting for their agency to become accredited. I'm sure there are some major tears being shed tonight from all those moms and dads that thought this week for "finally it".
