Baby News for ZND

There are some many new adoptive parents on here. Way back when I was a regular on here. We tried to adopt a boy from Vladivostock and well lets just say things didn't work out so well.

But I'm thrilled to report that we adopted a baby boy born September 12, 2006 in the US. Yes we traveled the world to find him and he was in America all along.


God has a plan and in his own time!!

I tried to upload pictures but I can't seem to figure it out.

That's great... there was a person on this board the other day that said they were told it takes 5-6 years to adopt a caucassion baby from birth domestically. I that sounded odd, but it looks like you switched to domestic in March 2006 and was within 7 months you had your child... I am no math wizard but that does seem to significantly less than 5-6 years!

Congrats on your baby boy! It's amazing when the grand plan for us doesn't follow the path we expect, but ends in a great place nonetheless.
