We loved our experience!

hello Mindy - I read the boards every day but rarely post as I am chasing 3 kids around the house! But, when I saw your post I had to reply. We adopted our daughters from Chita and have had a love affair with the region ever since. We made great friends with the coordinator and still keep in touch with her. Please feel free to PM me with any questions.

God bless your journey!

Dayna

Adoption from Chita was great

Mindy:
My wife (Bratgirl) and I adopted two wonderful children from that region. They are both very healthy. The baby home there seems to treat the children well. If I remember correctly once you get to Moscow you will stay there 1-2 days then there is an overnight flight to Chita. I compare it to flying from Chicago to California. There is a yahoo group you can join to see some pictures of the region. At the time we adopted the 10 day wait got waived pretty regularly. As Dana said she keeps in contact with the coordinator and she could probably give you a better answer on that.
