Coby and I have just been informed about the accreditation for Russia and that it has not been signed yet. Basically what is happening is that Russia must sign off on this form before any adoptions are final. A Family can still get a referral and go and meet there child, and even set up a court date, but can not bring their child home yet. Here is a posting from CHI dated March 2nd. Coby and I know that God's timing is perfect and we are drawing strength from this. Please pray that this accreditation is signed and that adoptions can continue in Russia as soon as possible.
(Posted by CHI on March 2, 2007)-"Accreditation: At this time, no international agencies have received their new accreditation. Everyone continues to wait. According to our sources and conversations with other agencies, this does not mean Russia is opposed to international adoption. Actually, just the opposite is true. The government officials realize international adoption is necessary to solve the overwhelming problems of children without families. What we have heard is that the combination of the new staff from November with the Federal Ministry of Education and the importance of this decision about accreditation prompted them to take their time and be very thorough with the paperwork before issuing the licenses. They have not issued any timelines as to when it may happen, which means that it could happen any day or it could be another month. At this time, our regions continue to work with each regional Ministry to continue the adoption process for families. Many regions have been successful in this, while some regions wait for a response and continue negotiations. We ask that families be as patient as possible during this time. Any new factual information that we receive will immediately be passed on to our families. "
