[Kasey]

It definitely can be a tough decision to make, if you are having any second thoughts, research some other countries and then make your decision. There is a risk with any adoption and any foreign country--we are at their mercy, it is hard, just like you are at the mercy of a b-mom in domestic adoption. Changes can happen.
I know alot of agencies were offering opportunities to switch to Kazaksthan programs. You can still adopt infants there, the only downside is it is one long trip, anywhere for 3-6weeks in length.
From what I can tell you can still get infants, just not as young as before, so maybe you are looking at an 8-9-10 month old--but keep in mind that many of these kids are underweight and a little delayed from being in the orphanage so you still will get alot of infant time--my son was almost 6 months old when he came hom and was wearing 3 month clothes, you will most likely get to experience crawling, walking, talking firsts with them.
So definitely explore your other options,make a list of pros and cons for each and then make your decision from there--if you really feel like your child is in Russia, then follow your heart.
Best wishes!!
