So we thought we'd catch you up on the non-progress on our end.
We are waiting for our draft home study from the Social Worker. We spoke with her yesterday via email and she has assured us that she is almost done writing it. She will forward a draft to the agency for review, and one to the senior social worker. When that is done then we will meet with her and sign it and pay the remaining balance for the home study.
As our personal references have asked, we aren't sure if/when you will be contacted. We were told to pass it along in early November that she would contact you, but we're not sure if that was meant as being on an "as needed basis" or not. We'll keep you updated if we hear any more about it.
As for our citizenship status, we are now 2 weeks past when we were told we would have our Part 1 approval. I called yesterday and the call centre advised they will "send a message" to the appropriate office to move things along.
Government and International News
Well, not much has happened.
Canadian Parliament sits in 5 days - on January 28th. We're nervous while we wait.
In Russia: According to the Moscow Times, "The Supreme Court has instructed lower courts to allow orphans adopted by Americans to be permitted to join their new families in cases where the legal adoption process was completed before Jan. 1, according to a document posted on the court's website Tuesday."
We consider this a good sign. It's encouraging that the children get to go home with their already-court-appointed parents. Perhaps we will be lucky enough for Russia to grant us custody of one of their own.

Adam and I had one thing we wanted to ask of all our supporters. As you are very familiar with our plan, we wanted to plant a seed of thought in each of you.
Should you know of someone who wants to make an adoption plan for their child, please think of us. Please mention us. We want to be parents, and we promise to be wonderful parents, but it's just not that simple.
Thank you
