I didn't want to go into much detail last night until I had the information confirmed by our Agency. We heard from our agency today, so it's officially going to print about the situation at K's orphanage.
Our daughter lives in a very nice Orphanage (#6) about 40 minutes outside of Ekaterinburg -- and Ekaterinburg is located on the western border of Siberia. As of 34 minutes ago (10am Friday in Ekat), it is exactly -13 degrees Farenheit. Yes, 13 degrees below zero and snowing. Bbbbrrrrr.
Apparently, a water pump broke leaving the Orphanage without any water. Where is the water pump located? Deep below the frozen ground! Our friends, Jeff and Dawn, were told that the children were relocated to various orphanages and hospitals until SPRING when they would have the water pump fixed. Our Coordinator in Russia was surprised that JD and I knew about it already but confirmed that all the children were fine and they think K is now in Orphanage #5. Our coordinator will be at Orphanage #5 next week with another family so she has promised to get pictures and measurements (height and weight), if indeed, K is at #5.
Our agency said "Don't worry -- she'll probably be back at Orphanage #6 by the time you get a Court Date." I wrote back and told her we were hoping for a Court Date **before Spring**. I don't think our Agency was told that the children wouldn't be relocated until Spring...
Stay warm, our little Russian angel!! xoxoxox
For 12 years we prayed for a family...and now we are one!

- We never suspected the route we'd take in order to become a "family". Years of trying to have kids turned into years of infertility treatments with moments of joy & heartache and then years of deciding "what next?". This is it...an account of our journey of international adoption to bring home a precious, dear little girl who has made us "The Deary Family".

When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something else.

i sure hope you are back in ekat before spring!!! what takes them so long there? crazy! seems like the other orphanages would be so crowded that they would want to get the children out of there that already have families waiting.
poor k. she just needs to get home to america! it seems that they would want to get the children home to the families they have waiting for them so the orphanages wouldn't be overcrowded.
Boy it certainly makes you appreciate living in the U.S. We're keeping our fingers crossed for you. Mom asks me to read your blog to her frequently so she's up to date too. Hang in there!
I will keep your little one in my prayers that she is safe, warm, fed by caring hands.
Who knows maybe this will speed things along.
