Like the OP, I am also very anxious about the health/future of our adopted child that we are yet to meet. Our dossier is done and will be on its way to Russia in a couple of weeks for translation (submitted it today to our agency).
We will be traveling on a Blind Referral and are so scared! We've been told great things by adoptive parents which encourages us and then warned by some doctors here (a ped. specialist that sees our bio son) that we must assume we are getting a special needs child. I cried all the way home from that doctor's office.
I know we will go through the struggles of attachment and transition (our age range is 12-18 months...would consider up to 24 months). But we fully intend to adopt a child who will grow up and live a normal fuctioning life. Maybe we are naive. We have no idea what to believe anymore, we are going on faith and a prayer.
We felt led to do this and we waited almost 2 years to persue it.
Hugs and God Bless! I hold on to the hope that all will be okay in the end.
