Is anyone adopting in St. Petersburg, Russia?
Hello, I was wondering if anyone adopted in Russia St. Petersburg, and if so how was the process. I am interested in adopting there, because I fell in love when I saw "adoption stories", the Russia episode from last year. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks and God Bless.

You should join the yahoo st. Pete board...there are a lot of us that adopted from St. Pete on this board though. It's one region where things still seem to be progressing well.

The city is beautiful and the food is great!! There's a lot to see and do. We were brave on trip 2 and stayed in an apartment and got to shop at a grocery store (now THAT was entertainment!! ). If we can ever afford to go back, I'd like to adopt from St. Pete again. For us, the 10 was waived and court was 30 minutes. The 4 other couples had about 40 minutes each (relatives to go over).
