Hi there cakegirl and coffee_please
Thanks for the replies.
A few months ago we attended an evening In christchurch by the ICANZ organisation. It was a very informative evening.
Coffee_please the price you mentioned of $80,000 was that for siblings? The price given to us at the evening to adopted from Russia was $40,000 all expenses included.
I spoke with a woman last week at Child, youth and family and we are down to attend Day 1 and 2 in the new year. We are both very excited about taking the next step.
Hope you dont mind me asking - but where are you both up to in the adoption process and how long did it take you to get to where you are at. We have no idea of time frames so would be great to hear from someone who is in the system so to speak.
Do you know of any books written about families who have adopted from either NZ or internationally.
Hope to hear from you soon
Melissa
