We adopted our son 3 1/2 years ago from Russia. I had not had any kind of spiritual feelings about him, We just knew we wanted to have a child and this was the only was we could.
I have always taken comfort from my Patriarcal blessing where is says 'children will be sent to my home' this has been particularly comforting as we've recently been going through a very lenghty second assessment. (it's taken 2 1/2 years so far). As our second assessment is not finally finished and we're nearly ready to send paperwork to Russia again I have had a few little feelings about our future daughter. Nothing big, I just feel that she was born recently.
Good luck. Hopefully you'll get a referal soon.
