All International Adoptions are unstable. Look at what is or rather what has even happened to the Guatemala program. There was a time they could not load those children up fast enough. Now???? We have a son adopted in 2005. We were involved in a shut down so it took 18 months including a 4 month glitch on the USA side.

As others have mentioned there are no guarantees. I would really take some time to thing about where you see your child. Since you are in process for China, an Asian child can be adopted from Khaz as well. The process with travel is lengthy though. Russia is Russia and they can do what they want so I believe there will never be any more stability than there is now. I say if you want Russia then go for it! There are a million children there needing families (literally). If you have a heart to adopt then please do not quit. Some place out there is a special little someone waiting for you just as you are waiting for them. Good luck with everything. Our prayers that you make the right decision for your family.

" I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you and every long lost dream lead me to where you are others who broke my heart they were just northern stars pointing me on my way into your loving arms this much I know is true....That God blessed the broken road and lead me straight to you, I think about the years I spent just passing through, I'd like to take the time I lost and give it back to you but you just smile and take my hand even then you understand that its all part of this grander plan that is coming true and every long lost dream lead me to where you are..."-SELAH
