I received some bad news this week. All of my INS paperwork expires on February 15, 2009 and I will not have Megan home by that point. This means that I have to redo ALL of my Dossier Paperwork, including my Home Study. Of course this news upset me, but I don't have a choice. If I don't update the paperwork I cannot bring Megan into the country. So.....whatelse am I going to do? Please pray that I can get all of this done by next week, so that things can be processing before and after Christmas. That way maybe I can get everything together before I head back to Russia, hopefully at the end of January.
At this point, I am hoping to have Megan home for my birthday, February 23rd.

Five Days and Counting
Hi Everyone,
It has been five days since I last saw Megan, and overall the time has gone pretty quickly. I have been staying busy and showing her pictures off to everyone. I can't post her picture on the blog until after court. So, if I happened to miss emailing you one, just email me and I will send you one!
The twelve hour flight got Mom and I back into Atlanta Thanksgiving night and it was a long ride home. We spent Friday working on some Christmas decorations at mom and dad's house and THANKS to my cousins, Jeff, Susan, Jill, Jan, and Jay, mom and I were able to have a leftover Thanksgiving meal!!! Saturday morning, I went to my grandmothers to show her pictures of Megan, but other than that, it was a bad day because Georgia lost to Georgia Tech. Yesterday, found me at church showing off pictures and telling everyone about our trip. I got to work early today, trying to get some things caught up, but it didn't work. I have been getting emails and visits from people wanting to see more pictures of my little princess. I sent three out this morning, and everyone thinks she is BEAUTIFUL!!!
As of now, I am once again waiting. I know I have to redo some paperwork, but I have not heard anything from CHI as of yet. According to CHI in St. Louis and in Moscow, there will be no way that I will have court until after January 12th. So, I am hoping to have court either the 12th or 13th and then start the 10 day waiting period. That would put her home near the first of February! I will just have to see how everything goes!!!!
Again, thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers. Please keep Megan in your prayers, she is VERY ATTACHED to her caregivers (she has been in the same Baby House since she was three days old)and I know taking her out of the Baby House is going to be VERY traumatic for her.
