Blog: Where do we stand? (babies)

Where do we stand?

So I finally broke down a couple of weeks ago and ordered blinds for Calvin's room. JC Penney was having a sale so I got them for half price. All that is left to buy for the room is a blue area rug. However, at this point I am not sure if it going to be a little boy room or a guest bedroom. News coming out of Bulgaria is very dim for families who are hoping to adopt under 3 children that are healthy. Older children and special needs are the main priority for Bulgaria.

***Disclaimer to adoptive parents, young healthy children in all countries are being adopted by the citizens of the country or in foster care. Special needs and older children seem to be the norm now for foreigners who want to adopt*** This is for China, Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria. The only countries I know of that have young healthy children being adopted are from Ethiopia.

I am hearing from Bulgarian chat sites that young healthy children referrals probably won't be made until next year. So where does that leave us? Our paperwork expires Nov and we will have to make a decision as to how much longer we want to wait...Cathryn is already 5 and Caroline is 7. Heavenly Father, make your will known to us. Not our will but yours be done. God's plan is always better than ours.
