Another Delay

Jonathan telephoned Darlene yesterday, who told him that Masha had Emailed her a short message last Saturday. The latest news is of another delay.

One construction we can put on this news is that when Kola was "available for adoption" in August 2006, we mistakenly thought that meant international adoption. But the Ukrainian Parliament has made it very clear that all children must first be available for adoption by Ukrainian citizens (in actuality, usually extended family) for one year before they can be adopted by foreigners. In this scenario, Kola wouldn't be available for us to adopt until August 2007.

A lot of this is my personal conjecture about what's going on. As we hear more, I'll keep you posted.
