Our file has been reviewed by the Ministry in Russia and they've asked for a couple more things.
1. The social worker we used for our home study is part of a 2-social worker company. Each social worker needs to have a copy of their license sent to Russia, as well as a letter from the province validating their position of trust. We provided this as part of the original paperwork.
However, much of the home study paperwork was written on the company letterhead so we've been asked to provide a letter from the province validating the company itself. No big deal - we had it in 24 hours from the Department of Community Services. They really went all out to get it quickly for us.
2. Part of the legal agreement between Russia and the adoptive parents is that the parents agree to provide post-placement reports at certain intervals for, what was, 2 years. We are happy to do this and have already signed paperwork to say we will.
However, a change is now in place that will require the post-placement reports for 3 years instead of 2. No big deal, we're happy to do it. Just need to sign another paper, have it notarized and sent off to be processed.
So something happened - yea!
To me I interpret this as great news. It means that the person who has our file has gone through it piece by piece and determined that it's almost perfect and hopefully it means they'll be keeping us in mind while reviewing the children's profiles. And finding the right match really soon.
Fingers crossed.
