New here
Hi All,
Well Im not really new here- i have been a lurker for a few months. My husband and I are offically waiting- our dossier is in Russia being translated and we are waiting for a referral. We requested under 24 months & any gender. we were told spring or summer as a possible travel date  We started the whole process in may 05 and were planning to adopt from the Ukraine but then switched to Russia. I enjoy lurking on these boards- i get so much info & insight from you all. The waiting is really hard- somedays it sems as if it will never happen. Here is my blog http://ukraineadventure.blogspot.com/ Lauri

Welcome Lauri,
It's always great to here from new members. I've lurked for months on other boards, but find it easy to post here without getting blasted for giving honest opinions. I think you'll love it here, too. Please keep us updated on your progress. We love to hear good news. And if the news isn't always so good, this is a great place to let loose on your frustrations. Holly

Welcome! That is such exciting news! Yes, waiting was so hard!!!!!! It was my only thought everyday and it was very hard to concentrate on anything else! However, when it finally happens......it really is amazing how much you forget! You are just so glad that you went thru the process and had the patience to "wait". It will be wonderful for you!!!!!!!!!! Best wishes
