October 1, 2008
Today is the first of October. I am still thinking we will get "The Call" soon. I can almost feel things starting to move. Three people that sent their paperwork to Perm the same day with ours have gotten the call!!!! They are all adopting boys so I am just waiting for Kati. The reason referrals take so long is because the babies have to be on the Russian database (www.usynovite.ru) for 9 months before they can be adopted internationally. They have to get cleared by the Minister Of Education (M.O.E).Kati will probably be at least 12 months.I am so ready for her to be home with us my heart hurts.I am so ready for her life to start as a Ortis.I am going to be 40 on the 9th and I can not think of a better birthday present than getting a call from Russia saying to come meet our little Kati!!!!
