Russia has called a timeout!

For those of you keeping up at home, you'll remember that several weeks ago we heard that Russia was in the midst of an 'internal audit' regarding adoptions. Turns out part of the outcome from that audit is the realization that they have adopted out too many children through international adoptions for 2008. So, they have 'closed their doors' to any additional adoptions for this year.

This includes any families:

• Making their first trip to meet with potential children
• Making their second trip to court

So, we'll cool our heels for a while.

bummer...
