What do I say about today?

I want to say "FINALLY"! or title this post "It's about time!" or "It's finally real!", but you know, those post titles are yet to be. 'It' hasn't happened yet. We haven't heard about the boys, or which boys we could get, or gotten the 'referral', or heard anything specific. The waiting continues, or maybe I should say, the waiting just started. We found out today from our case manager, Anya, that we are finally registered in Russia as of today. Okay, well in my mind I think that took quite a long time. But we are new to the adoption scene, and don't have a clue what truly to expect, so we have to take it as it comes. It is nice to know that we are finally registered. We are now on file over there officially, and the waiting begins! Praise be to the Father! I am glad our waiting has a beginning. I keep hearing it will be 6-12 months, so we have to get more focused on the little nitty gritty details of being prepared (as if we could ever be prepared for this really). ~~~~~~Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
