Hoping the rumors are true!!

Every morning, after the school bus is gone, I take my cup of coffee and "check the boards". There are several bulletin boards for adoption where pre adoptive (PAPS) and adoptive parents (APs) can post information and get questions answered. Well today - the boards are busy - two agencies are stating that RULE 268 HAS BEEN SIGNED!!!!!!!

We have not received official word from our agency - but at times this is slow coming because they like to dot all the i's and cross all the t's. Nor is it posted on the Russian Governmental Website that lists new laws. But, that website is a bit behind.

The two agencies that are claiming this - COH and CHI - are both reputable and seem to be fairly accurate in their announcements. (they didn't announce this to the public, but their clients quoted their emails)

If this is true, and we pray that it is, then the next step is reaccreditation. Rule 268 in place, the Ministry of Education now has the green light to start issuing licenses to the agencies. We have no idea how long this will take, nor in what order, but that is ok. Hopefully we are one step closer to bringing baby T home.
