Are there any other families out there like ours??

Our son, now 5, is from Russia and our daughter, now 18 months, is from Guatemala.

It would be neat to find another family that is similar to ours.

Hola and Privyet!

We brought our daughter home from Guatemala on 12/18/07. And we are preparing for our second trip to Moscow on 3/9/09. Our son should be home by the end of March, according to our agency. So, we are very similar to your family!

We're also preparing for a third and final adoption from China or elsewhere (depending on lots of things). We live in Southeast Louisiana. It is always nice to find families similar to your own, so it's nice to "meet" you.

We adopted two from Russia in 2001-at the time they were 3 and 18 months. We completed our Guatemala adoption in 2007-she was 22 months when we brought her home. We have all girls, they are now 10, 9, and 3 years old. The two from Russia are biological sisters, so that was good to keep them together.

Good to know there are others out there that has adopted from other countries.

My middle son, age 6, came home from Russia in December 2003, oldest son, age 6, came home from Guatemala in March 2004, and my youngest son, age 4, came home from Guatemala in March 2005.

Single mom and I'm done, despite what my group name implies.

Count us in!
Our DS came home from Russia in Oct 2000 at 5.5 months (almost 9ys old now) and DD came in Aug 2007 at 13 months old.
Nice to "meet" others out there with similiar stories!

Well, not from Russia, but we do have one adopted from China and one from Guatemala and one biological. The two adoption stories couldn't be any different in how they put up for adoption so to speak.

Hi Karen,

Count me in!!! We have 2 children adopted from Russia in 2004, they are 6 and 7 years old. And we have a daughter adopted from Guatemala in 2006.... Are you all on Facebook? We should start a multi country international group!!!

We are a multi-international family also...we have a son adopted from Russia, a daughter adopted from China, a son and a daughter adopted from Guatemala, and are currently waiting on the referral of 2 little ones from Ethiopia...oh, and we have a bio son too!

Guess I could have just said...see my siggy below : )

Me too, me too! I have 2 from Russia, in 2001 that were ages 4 and 4 1/2 at adoption (not bio), now 11 and 12, and 1 from Guatemala, 7 mos at adoption and 4 on Saturday! Oh, yeah and 6 biological children!

Can anyone tell me their opinions about which was easier in regards to paperwork. We have adopted from Russia but we cannot possibly afford it again.

We were thinking about Guatemala when it opens. Is Guatemala more strict than Russia?

Our family is Russian/Guatemalan mix. We have a son Dmitry who is 10 and was adopted from Russia almost 9 years ago. We just celebrated our 2 year baby Sophia's first anniversary last Friday.
