Exciting News
Today I received travel dates to go see Maks. I leave April 7th and will meet him on April 10th! YEA! I am so excited, nervous, and scared. I am sure all normal reactions. I have been busy trying to work all day, find airline tickets, and get my visa application sent off. Mom and I spent a couple hours tonight going over visa information and hopefully get it sent off in morning. I plan on getting up early so I have plenty of time to get everything done tomorrow. So I better get to bed. I will try to follow up with a longer update soon.
My Journey
Back in December I decided that I wanted to adopt. I have known since I was very young that it was something I wanted to do, and that feeling has never changed. I then decided I would like to adopt internationally and after much research decided that Russia was the country for me. So in January I sent in my application and began the long process of collecting various documents, pictures, and had my home assessed to see if it would be a good environment for a child. This is all complete and my dossier was submitted to Russia the first week of June and I am now awaiting a referal of an infant or toddler boy. This wait now can take 2-6 months. I would love to share this journey with my family and friends, and will definately need your support between trips when I am missing my little boy and our new family member. My neices and nephews are so excited to have a cousin on the Protzman side. I know my little boy will be so loved and I feel so blessed to be able to give my child a home and family he may not of had otherwise.
So feel free to leave any posts with questions and comments and I look forward to reading and answering them. I will try and keep things updated regularly, and slowly add things to this blog as I learn how to do so.
Welcome to my blog.
