Coming home empty handed
I am headed home tomorrow with no good news. They were unable to find a suitable referral for me. So I don't know what the future holds, just have to wait and see. Bye for now.
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.

Good things come to those who wait. We know this has got to be disheartening, but keep your chin up...God has other plans for you! You remain in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Scott and Brenda
Next time, I will go with ya!
I know your heart is a wee bit broken right now, and that is understandable. I was very sad that your story had this blip in it. I promise you, if you hang it there, you will find your child.
We are all praying for you, and the child that is out there for you.

So sorry you came home without finding your son. I am a few months behind you with my adoption. I have a referral and was set to travel in Feb but then my region started tacking on new paperwork so I'm frustrated not to have made even trip 1. I'll keep you in my thoughts.
Hi Ginger,
I came across your blog through other Russian adoption blogger friends. There are no words that could convey your feelings and sadness and I'm so sorry that you are going throuh it - Know that there are strangers out here thinking of you and hoping that you get good news - great news - final news on bringing your boy home. While this won't help at all, know that these moments of heartbreak will lessen when you walk through your front door with your forever son.
