Thank you to everyone that posted. All this information really helped. As a followup, we accepted one of the children, but not the other. It is heartbreaking. My dh, just last night said he thought this was the hardest thing he's ever had to do, say no to a child. Our agency is working with Russia for a 2nd referral in the region. Hopefully they will work quickly since there is a child that has been accepted waiting in the wings. No plans yet to travel until they come back to us if there is another child available. Not sure what will happen if there is not...guess we'll wait and see.
