We're adopting from the US and we live in Manitoba. We're early in the process, but we did a lot of research with both of our agencies before starting (one in US and one in Canada)--just to make sure we weren't going to be heading down the wrong path. We hope to spend under $10,000 and have our baby in less than a year. This is our second adoption and we think our daughter will make a great big sis.
I'd love to hear from others concerning their journeys. I have some specific questions, but I'll save those for another time.
To those in the adoption journey for the first time, stick with it. The road isn't easy but it's so worth it--I know that sounds cliche but it's true. Adoption is so wonderful, and the amount of time and effort you spent in "labor" for your child seems to melt away once they enter your lives (until you start the process again and you're reminded of the "pains" to get to the intended end =-).
Best wishes to all as you travel this amazing path to adoption.
