Domestic or International

So the last couple of days, we have been looking at some international adoption possibilities like Russia or the Ukraine. We are not sure if we want to go this way, but want to keep our options open. I talked with our caseworker Laura to see if there was anything new. She didn't have anything new and hadn't talked to any birth moms. This greatly concerns me. I guess that's really why we are looking at some other options. We really want an infant, but do I want that to stop us from reaching our ultimate goal of parenthood? And how much do we want or can we afford to spend? All these questions are looming over our heads and nagging at us. Did we choose the right agency, did we choose correctly when we decided to go with domestic adoption. You name it, we are questioning. We know that adoption is the right path to parenthood for us, but questioning all the other decisions. If you know of anyone who has or is working with international adoption, we would love to talk with them. Also if you know of anyone who is thinking about adoption as a plan for their baby, please refer us. We have set up a new facebook page called Mike and Aprille's Adoption Profile. It has an email address where they can contact us. We appreciate all the prayers and well wishes. This has been a long road already and know we have a long road ahead.

  1. April, Byron Sims and his wife adopted an oriental child. He is a lawyer with Carl Kasten here in Carlinville. They are in the phone book. You might call him and ask you questions.
