Anyone adopting from Russia while living abroad?

Hello, is anyone here in the process of (or completed) adopting from Russia while living outside the US? If so, I have questions for you.

Thanks,
Dana

I know of one family still in Germany who adopted from Russia seven years ago while living in Germany. If you are interested in contacting them, PM me your e-mail and I will forward it to them.

Hello, yes, we just completed a Russian adoption while living in Germany, and relocated to Colorado about a month ago. We are more than happy to chat w/ you (and anyone else) regarding our process - please feel free to drop me a PM if you'd like, and we can talk via email or phone.

Rayann! Glad to see you back on the boards after your move.

Dana_Dane, I know its not the same but I am from the United Kingdom, living in Spain and I've just adopted from Russia. I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Rayann was able to answer the questions I had for the time being. If I come across anymore, which I'm sure I will, I'll definitely ask. Thanks for your consideration. Congradulations on your adoption
