This is what waiting looks like...

 

 

Two empty rooms, and we don't even know what color to paint them, so they've stayed the way they were when we bought our home in 2011.  Stayed that way, just waiting.

Now our dossier is complete and in the hands of our agency to be reviewed.  Assuming everything passes muster, the documents will be authenticated and shipped to Kyrgyzstan soon.  Then, within three months of the receipt of our dossier, we hope to have a referral, which will tell us how to paint and furnish the rooms (since we don't know age and gender yet).

Hopefully we -- and our empty rooms -- won't wait much longer!
