A new door is opening and there is so much possibility. I have no advice on international adoption ... maybe Danya would?

I do not have much advice on international adoption but I can share with you that being on the adoption journey with my husband has strengthened our marriage so much. The paperwork and classes and interviews can be overwhelming but we have learned to look forward to every aspect of the experience. Being open to life either through adoption or conceiving is such a wonderful feeling....God is writing the story for you right now :)Patiently Waiting......https://www.blogger.com/profile/10058373333931696298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086515951454178468.post-3885399109714471762012-05-29T08:53:14.005-05:002012-05-29T08:53:14.005-05:00You are in Canada, right?

You are right though- most international adoption is not of infants now. I have heard that you can adopt infants from Taiwan- here is a link to the agency that does this: http://www.hishandstaiwan.org/ee/index.html<br /><br />Here is a link to a blog of a couple who is currently adopting an infant from Taiwan: http://expectingablessing.blogspot.com/<br /><br />We did not use this agency since we adopted domestically so I cannot personally vouch for them, but they are the only ones I've heard of doing international adoption of infants. That doesn't mean that there aren't others- that's just all I've heard of.tarynkayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15944269033719646257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086515951454178468.post-54440068157566352452012-05-29T08:28:43.801-05:002012-05-29T08:28:43.801-05:00This is so exciting!

Start meeting with agencies...I'M SO EXCITED!!!! Start meeting with agencies, whether in person or by phone or we even did some teleconference thing once. Just get as much real info as you can, from the agencies themselves. We looked into so many agencies, countries, etc. before we ended up with our agency and doing domestic. There's no better way to discern than by jumping in head first. Well, of course there's prayer but I'm sure you're doing that! Ask God to open doors for you to lead you to your baby. Adoption is such a unique journey with twists and turns and open and closed doors. When it's finally the right agency, country, child, things will fall into place. That being said, I started the process when I wasn't even sure I was ready yet. God worked on my heart and here we are a few years later. I'm praying for you!!!Kareyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322075168200033307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086515951454178468.post-3872660651838676492012-05-28T16:22:48.061-05:002012-05-28T16:22:48.061-05:00This is so exciting to hear!

I am not sure what ...Umm, I am SO excited for you!! I am not sure what advice to give as I too would love to adopt internationally someday, but there's a lot "out there" to consider. Dh and I discussed Colombia off and on for awhile since his family is from Bogota, but it's my understanding that you often wait 3+ years for a placement there. And seriously, IF already demands so much difficult waiting, not sure if I'd recommend going an adoption route that requires so much waiting too. <br /><br />Another country I've considered (but never even come close to making a leap towards haha) is Russia (my stepmom, a social worker, helped many families successfully adopt little ones from Russia). China - my understanding is it's getting harder to adopt from there? - is another locale that caught my eye.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04966555296621723142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086515951454178468.post-22646426430187777512012-05-28T15:20:54.456-05:002012-05-28T15:20:54.456-05:00Go with your heart, the Lord will lead you where H...Go with your heart, the Lord will lead you where He wants you.

They usually can give you a list of where to start and other important information as you navigate this new journey.<br /><br />Thanks again for the book. Looks like a good read and whenever I meet up with someone who is dealing with IF as a Catholic..I will pass on that book. :)prayerfuljourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549430693172260600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086515951454178468.post-11184011523842052162012-05-28T12:13:15.131-05:002012-05-28T12:13:15.131-05:00And I just read TCIEs comment, and I completely ag...And I just read TCIEs comment, and I completely agree with her.Nadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08219960725085412879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086515951454178468.post-47635297287101922192012-05-28T12:11:53.637-05:002012-05-28T12:11:53.637-05:00That's nieces, ot nerves....That's nieces, ot nerves....Nadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08219960725085412879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086515951454178468.post-49159739638246616792012-05-28T12:11:10.388-05:002012-05-28T12:11:10.388-05:00Maybe your baby is of that decent, but in Canada? ...Maybe your baby is of that decent, but in Canada?
