Two weeks down....50 more to go!

Actually, that's a little bit under the time frame we were given on how long it will be to adopt a sibling group from Russia. Our agency said it could be perhaps 14 months. But, I'm just looking at a year for now.

Today I had to take my younger son to the pediatrician. We had to go to a different office location, and our regular doctor was on vacation, so we saw someone else. I really liked this physician as well. At the end of our time I asked about another physician in their practice who I was informed had adopted children from Russia. I mentioned it because we are in the process of adopting internationally and when we bring our children home, we would like them to be seen by this physician. He mentioned the doctor's name, and that he did indeed adopt 4 children, all at once, from Russia! What is cool is that he will do consultations before your trip to tell you what to look for, how to evaluate a child and the medical documentation. He will also set up the first pediatric visit on your return to the states with a thorough check up. Yeah! I'm so glad that I found this out! I think Chris and I may be setting up a consultation with him in September. How cool is that!
