Dossier's going on a trip

Our dossier will be leaving for St. Petersburg tomorrow. It will take about a month for it to be translated then we'll be assigned a region - then a referral. It's so good to get to this point again.

Dec. 1 marked one year since we officially began this journey, signing with the first agency. The clock seems to stand still at times and fly at other times. I think the next month will fly by because of the holidays and all the activity it brings.

Just in case a referral is immediate (one can hope!), I'm starting a list of questions to ask the caretakers and doctors. If anyone has any links or suggestions regarding this, I would so appreciate it!

Thanks!

For your list don't forget to ask about the firsts, I did and regret it, first time he walked, first word, etc. Also, now that he is in school, time of birth (on a homework assignment no less), day of week born (able to look that up), name of hospital born at, etc.

Oh and ask if they have any pictures you can have. We got one baby picture of our son at 6-7 months from the orphanage and it is very meaningful to us.
