Here is a little refresher:
Novosibirsk is the region located in south central Russia. This is the only region out of the three that requires us to travel to Moscow to get our daughters visa. However, Adam and I have both realized that we would like to visit Moscow, so this will be a great opportunity! Also, I had mentioned in my last blog that our flight will be significantly longer, thus making it more expensive. I just received some information from our WACAP caseworker stating that the flight will end up being about the same as flying to Vladivostock. Since we have to fly through Moscow to get home, it will end up being more cost effective, especially because we won't be paying the courier fees. This is also the region that is moving rather quickly with child referrals, and because the town is located fairly close to Mongolia and Kazakhstan, they have a higher concentration of Asian/Eurasian children.
Here is a little bit of information about Novosibirsk. It is located in Siberia, along the Ob River. Novosibirsk is considered the third largest city in Russia behind Moscow and St. Petersburg, with a population of over 1.7 million people. It also has the largest railway station along the Trans-Siberian route, and is the leading industrial center of Siberia.
Below you will find the map of Russia. Novosibirsk in located in south central Russia, north of Mongolia and Kazakhstan.
We are so excited to pinpoint the general area where our daughter is waiting! Please continue to pray that things move quickly and smoothly.
Blessings,
Anna
