Another Adoptive Family

Was sitting in the lobby checking email when I noticed an American Family chasing a beautiful little 2 year old girl. Struck up a conversation with the mother who explained they were from Ohio and on the third trip of their adoption of the little girl.

I was happy for them and longed for the time when our third trip will be here. They explained their process which started in a region about "1.5 hours by flight and then a 3 hour car ride from Moscow," they said. All the adoptions finish here because of the need for an interview/visa from the American Embassy. They were flying home with their little girl on Christmas Eve. She was cute running around the lobby while the mother chased her around, attempting to keep from going outside.

Was nice to hear how others fared with different organizations and orphanages. The girl looked very happy and active. Soon that will be Kelly and me. The other family did say we were lucky to only have to be in Moscow and not have to worry about going somewhere else. I liked hearing that even though it seemed obvious to me. Their process also took just under two years. So we are happy that ours will take under a year, probably 9-10 months total. Thank you Adopt-A-Child, Inc.
