Ask if your Agency can do a Medical Adoption!? He comes here after your Homestudy is completed. Lives with you has the Medical Services and Recouperation time, and then you go back to Russia to finalize the Adoption!

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

getting him here (travel expenses) and homestudy are 1/2 the expense.

There are Hospitals who will 'pick up' the Travel expense. Shriners is an example of one! Most University or Teaching Hospitals are others!

Ask at DCFS if someone there is Licensed to do an International Homestudy. There is little or no cost compared to an Agency!

Hi Holly...

I was wondering if you or anyone else, has information on dealing with language with older adopted children. We are to pick up our son from Bulgaria in about 5 weeks. He is 10 and knows VERY little English.

Thanks
