Paris, France

According to Fedex.com, our dossier has traveled from Longmont to Boulder to Indianapolis to Paris...and it already left Paris. For where? I don't know. But it's darn close to Ukraine!

Everyone's question to me is, "When do you think you'll go?" We don't know. But I found two other families that Cathy assigned to Valentina, and they have been waiting to be submitted since September 2007 and June 2007. Here are their websites:

Then again, last spring the Abella family had their dossier submitted in 14 days. Yes, 14 days!!! Why the difference? The Abella's requested a sibling group of 3 children, which may have put them to the front of the line. Also, the U.S. met its "quota" for Ukrainian adoptions (set by the SDA) in October and they aren't accepting new dossiers until mid-January. So really three months of their delays are due to bad luck.

Bottom line...it's anyone's guess when we travel. Hopefully in 2008!!!
