Got an update from our agent a few days ago...
The dossier has been translated, and is being certified in Armenia right now. That should be done shortly if it isn't already. After that, the package goes before a review committee, hopefully sometime within the next two weeks or so. If they approve it, the file moves on to the Prime Minister's office. No hard date on how long it will be there.
We did also find out some information that somewhat extends our expectations for the overall time line. It turns out that, after we receive and accept a referral, there are a few additional steps to be taken before we can make our first trip to Armenia to petition the court. We have to take care of some documentation between our agency, the US gov't, and the Armenian gov't, which will take a month or more, before the official adoption proceedings in Armenia can actually begin. Long story short, it is just another couple of steps in a long, confusing, but ultimately worthwhile process, which will hopefully end with the successful addition of a child or children into our family.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers as our documents work their way through the process, and we will try to continue to keep this updated with any major changes or milestones.
