Here's some typical adoption drama for you. This morning I received an email from Dr. Ageeva, the medical doctor who will travel with us to the region:

I have contacted with coordinator Andrei and he said that he never visits NN. Are you sure about region you mentioned in email? Andrei asked me to call him back again in 2 hours. He will get the exact information. From your side would you, please, try to get the information in your agency?

What?
(Frantic call to agency director)

The story has a happy ending.

Apparently we were forwarded the phone number for the wrong Andrei. Everything is fine, and OUR Andrei has secured our letters of invitation for our visa.

Drama, drama! Glad it worked itself out.

There are lots and lots of Andreis in Russia. Both of our drivers (Moscow and the region) were named Andrei.

Glad there wasn't too much drama.

Whoa, you have to bring your own doctor? Interesting.
Anywhoo, have been lurking for ages and just wanted to drop by to say I'm so excited for you! At long last, you're almost there. Congratulations!

Oh wow, nothing like a little last minute stress!

Don't forget to sign your Visa application!

I'm excited for you too! I always felt like I would believe it when I saw it happen, because there are so many stories where issues pop up. But, having said that, our adoption went very well, except for us missing out flight to Russia and having to wait an extra day to leave:).

I hope you have a wonderful trip to meet your children!

Glad the little bump in the road was just a jolt and not a serious issue. Lada is very on top of things. Per your question, we covered airfare, hotel, and a fee. Because we had two different orphanages to visit she ended up staying an extra night and we covered that as well. Best money we ever spent.

I am so glad this is finally happening! I've been thinking about you two since the trip all the while reading the updates on here. It sounds like things are all coming together! So exciting. I hope that everything will go smoothly and you both will have a safe trip. Little bumps in the road will come and go, but the final result will amount to something so much greater than we can ever imagine!

I miss San Diego! I miss the house. I miss the beach. I miss the shopping :). I miss Thani! I miss everyone..

The entire (present and future) family are in my prayers! Take care:)
