Yes there is definetely hope! As I had mentioned, no American families had been successful in adopting from this region since summer of 2005, and a week after our hearing, another American family - one we've come to know very well during this long journey - was also successful and have ended their nearly 4 year journey to bring their son home! The judge is now being very consistent in her requirements (demands) and now that we've cracked the code so to speak, we are VERY HOPEFUL that many more families will follow!
