We started this blog so we could document and keep in touch with family and friends about our family's biggest adventure. We are adopting a baby girl from Moscow, Russia. We feel so blesssed to have Nate and Aidan. They are such sweet, smart, fun kids. We always wanted a third child and things weren't going as planned. It felt like someone was missing, so we turned to adoption. International adoption felt like the right fit for our family.
We started the process in March of 2007 wanting to adopt a baby from China. However, the wait time kept growing. It went from 15 months to 31 months in a little over a year. We were told to expect a 3-4 year wait. Feeling very frustrated and looking for other options, we stumbled upon an agency that deals with Russia and couldn't be happier!
We are working on finishing our dossier to hopefully be sent to Russia by September. We are looking to travel in January or February for the first time. Brad and I will go to meet our "referral" and hopefully make a match. We will then come home for 4-6 weeks and spend lots of money on cute baby clothes!! Our second trip will again be just Brad and I for about one week. We come home for 10 days and have to turn around and go back. For the 3rd and final trip, Nate and Aidan will be going with us (we hope!) to bring their baby sister home!!!
