Well, for at least the next 10 years, we know that Ryan and I will not be adopting a child internationally! Our social worker called us Thursday and told Ryan that there was absolutely no reason for us to proceed in the Russian adoption. The man in Russia who oversees the adoptions and basically runs the show, said he has seen too many people get shut down by the judicial system once they are in Russia. (Those other people have the same kind of file we have) He advised us to stop the process for our own protection. For that, we are thankful to get the "NO" now instead of after we have met the child and spent weeks in Russia. As a rule of thumb, if one country says NO, all the others will most likely too.
So moving on to plan B. We don't really know what plan B is yet, but we will fill you in when we know! I have actually spoken to Social Services here in our area and we have applications to go through them, so we may just put our names in the system in case someone comes up that needs a home. We will see!
On a completely different note, there are only 8 more days of school left! I can't believe this year has come and gone so SO quickly! Jeremy graduates from VMI on Friday and Mom, Katie and i get to go see Tim McGraw on Saturday in Raleigh! I can not wait for this upcoming weekend!
Have a great Saturday!
