Kaliningrad!!!
















Hello,

Great News! We have been registered to the region of Kaliningrad in Russia!

Our agency operates in a couple different ways. So we could end up getting a referral from a different region within Russia if they find a child that meets our specifications.

This does mean that we are "officially" waiting in Kaliningrad!

Interesting facts about Kaliningrad:

  • Kaliningrad is located on the southern end of the Baltic Sea between Lithuania and Poland.
  • Kaliningrad used to a territory of Germany up until after WWII

We still estimate our first travel date to happen in the fall, but things are seeming more "real".

This is very exciting!

THANKS for your prayers and support!

Love,
The Kneidings

We are also registered there. It is so nice to hear from families that have gone before us who have positive things to say about the region. I think it will be a great place to visit. Not sure yet but we have heard the time between trips is not too long.

Congratulations!
