A different path

Are you wondering how the MAPP classes went? Well, they didn't go as we would have hoped. We were at the class all day on Saturday and we left there pretty discouraged and upset. I won't go into lengthy detail as to why, but we just decided its not for us. Being that we basically just want to adopt and not to "foster", it's not the best situation to put ourselves in. We think it will result in too much heartache. So we came home after the class and talked and I stayed up till 2am that night researching everything possible with adoption. Then we decided that we are going to take a different path with this. We have decided to adopt internationally from Russia. We both agreed on this and we are once again excited because we are moving towards something again. This will be a very consuming process as all international adoptions are, but it will keep us busy. We will mail out the application for the homestudy tomorrow and hopefully have decided on an agency by the end of the weekend. We are VERY ready for this new journey!
