Overdue on posting, but finished Dossier #1....so, now we wait....

I have to say that I am not the most patient person, but this has really taught me patience....this whole adoption process.  I've recently read many people's blogs and they say it really is ALL worth it in the end when you walk through the door to your home with your child!  So, our first dossier is complete and should be in Russia by now.  Now, we just wait for a referral.  The first step, as I understand it, once they receive your documents is for them to be translated into Russian.  Then, they have to be sent to region in Russia where you will then receive a referral.  Some people get lucky, but for most, this process takes 3-5 months from the time your documents are submitted.  That would put us at getting a referral (info on our baby girl) at around the September/October time frame.  Our agency still thinks we could get our little one home before Christmas!!!  We're praying for that...and that we can be a family of three before or by Chr...

Reflections on the current situation with Russian Adoptions....

I found an article online while researching adjustment periods post-adoption and thought it quite interesting because it makes a very pivotal point in saying that adoptive parents are not the only ones who are abusive to their children....or to the extreme even kill their children.  I was researching this because I did not understand WHY someone who go to such great lengths to adopt a child (emotionally, financially, etc) and then allow these things to happen.  This article explains a lot.  It also interested me because in college (yes, I studied a particular area of Sociology) and that was Sociology of Childhood.   I guess it saddens me to think that other prospective adoptive parents may never get the chance to love a Russian baby because of a handful of people's actions.  Should Russia close adoptions to the U.S., Aaron and I will choose another country.  We don't plan on waiting for them to iron everything out because that could take a long time....

Home Study Approved!!!!!!!

So, today was one heck of a day!  I was down in the dirt and worried about what that woman in Tennessee did with sending her child back unaccompanied to Russia.  And, we got a call and our home study was approved by Beacon House!!!  We are SO happy!!!  So, from here, we just have to wait for the home study to be sent back to us, notarized and certified then we can send it on to immigrations.  We have to wait for our I-171H approval before we can officially submit our first set of dossier documents!!!  We are half way there, according to our agency!!!  I can't believe it!  This is one of those "small victories" that life sends us on days when we really, really need it!
