Hello Russian Forum Members!!!
We are in the process of completing our second adoption from Guatemala and are considering Russia for the adoption of our third child (a boy).
We already have our 171H since we were approved for two children. (approved Oct 19, 2005)
How long from there do you get to make your first trip? Do you get referrals or travel blind?
The Russian process is very different from the Guatemalan process.
How long was your first trip? Second?
Thank you for your help as we decide if, when , and where, in regards to a third adoption.
Laura Jean
