And the waiting commences...

It occurred to me tonight that this has not been updated in a few weeks.

We're happy to report that, true to the previous post, we did get the rest of the paperwork Apostilled, and got the package mailed off successfully.  We're now officially into the 'waiting for everybody else to do their part' stage. 

As I understand it, here is the approximate path of our package:
 - To our adoption agency here in the states for review - done
 - Mailed to Armenia to be translated and certified there - should take 2-3 weeks
 - Submitted to the Armenian government for review and approval - time tbd
 - Passed along to the agency that reviews and makes a recommendation on the package - time tbd
 - Submitted to the Prime Minister for approval - time tbd
 - Passed along to the appropriate agency for a child referral - time tbd
 - Review and consider the referral package - a few days
 - Travel to Armenia - don't yet know how long after the approval of the referral this would occur.

Steps 1 & 2 remaining are pretty straightforward and should be done soon.  At that point, everything becomes clear as mud, and we will continue to seek refuge in prayer, fellowship, and one another's company.

Here's hoping for the best, and we'll try to continue to update as we receive further information.
