Well, a big decision has been made. We officially asked today to be switched to the Russia Program with our adoption agency. It is exciting, but sad, too. I had a special place in my heart for China, and I must say that making the switch feels a little bit like giving up on a baby out there somewhere in China. But the China Program is so very slow right now, we are aging quickly, and we really wanted to be bringing home baby #3 before 2010. I think that some day we will look back and see all of these pieces falling into place as they were meant to, but right now these decisions are hard. Luckily, I have wonderfully practical (and flexible) family members who do not obssess nearly as much as myself over such minor matters as a country. Jim always tells me very confidently that as soon as I meet my baby, nothing else will matter. And Liam has decided "Yes, a baby from Russia is good too."
So PRIVYET, RUSSIA! Here we come!
